| Bug report for Octave 2.0.15 configured for i386-redhat-linux-gnu
| 
| Description:
| -----------
| 
| The hexadecimal number 0xD is parsed as 0xE
| 
| a=0x0D * 0x10000
| printf("== %X\n",a);
| a=0x0E * 0x10000
| printf("== %X\n",a);
| 
| Gives the following output:
| 
| a = 917504
| == E0000
| a = 917504
| == E0000

This problem should be fixed in the current development versions of
Octave as well as the latest stable release, 2.0.16.
