| Bug report for Octave 2.1.33 configured for %OCTAVE_CANONICAL_HOST_TYPE%
| 
| Description:
| -----------
| 
|   * The parser commands that don't use parentheses i.e
|      >> cd ..
|     instead of
|      >> cd("..")
|     seem to be broken by a single unpaired bracket `[' in a script or a function.

I think this is fixed in the current CVS sources, except that the
strange error message

|     error: invalid character `ÿ' near line 2, column 0

still happens.
