I'm running the precompiled SunOs 4 Octave 1.0 binary on a 
Sparc 10 Solaris 1 (SunOs 4.1.3_U1)

Following program demonstrates the problem:

function a=bug1(s)
%
% Do bug1("10;") -> 10                                   [ok]
% Do bug1(<number>) -> error: eval: etc..                [ok]
% Again do bug1("10;") -> error: eval: etc...           [????]
%
% after a 'clear bug1' it all works again...

eval(["a=" s]);
