| Bug report for Octave 2.1.43 configured for i386-pc-linux-gnu
| 
| Description:
| -----------
| 
|   Hi,
|   
|   Now we have:
| >> size(int2str(2))
| ans =
| 
|   1  3
|   
|   It was
| >> size(int2str(2))    
| ans =
| 
|   1  1
|   
|   So it breaks some scripts that use an expression like this:
|   
|   Name = [ 'V' int2str(i) ];

I fixed this, but in a different way.  Also, I removed the limit on
large numbers by modifying the internal base_octave_stream::do_printf
method for integer formats.

The changes are in CVS now.  Check that if you are interested, or wait
for the next snapshot.
