Hi,

I have some propositions to make octave even better, IMHO:
* in liboctave/oct-shlib.cc: I added the option RTLD_GLOBAL to the call of the
  function dlopen, because I made a .oct file that used other libraries (I
  think it was for libalsa) that failed to load without this option
* in scripts/image/image.m: I added the option -raw to the arguments of the 
  xv command (xv = sprintf ("xv -raw -expand %f %s", zoom, ppm_name);). Indeed,
  I often use the image function to visualise matrices, and without this
  option, xv adds blur to the image. But maybe the blur is a desired feature
  for image()?
* when editing a command line (with readline), I often use CTRL-C to stop
  editing the current line without erasing it. But CTRL-C kills all the xv
  processes children of octave (but not the gnuplot processes) and even
  sometimes makes octave exit, without dumping an octave-core (I didn't manage
  to find out the precise conditions exactly)

BTW, I have version 2.1.34


Best regards,

Remy Bruno
