Octave 1.93 returns something weird for a non-square system 
of linear equations with complex numbers:

    octave:1> [i;2i] \ [3i;6i]
    ans = [](0x0)

However, everything is fine with reals only:

    octave:2> [1;2] \ [3;6]
    ans = 3.0000


Besides that, octave 1.93 doesn't like my init file:

    Octave, version 1.93 (i686-unknown-linux).
    Copyright (C) 1996 John W. Eaton.
    This is free software with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
    For details, type `warranty'.

    error: unexpected last match in yyinput()
    Segmentation fault

The init file contains only one statement:
    LOADPATH = strcat("~/octave/funcs//:", LOADPATH);


Both bugs are reproducible on HP-UX and Linux.
