Thanks, it works now. I think you were right I was somehow loading an 
old library. I was trying to build as an RPM package and the packager 
must have missed something. Completely cleaning octave from my system 
and make install fixed the problem. By the way (I would make a separate 
bug report but this one is trivial), during the make install, the 
following error came up:
./func.texi:369: Misplaced {.
./func.texi:369: Misplaced }.
It appears this is caused by a missing  at , as shown below:
*** func.texi   2004-01-21 21:49:35.000000000 -0600
--- func.texi.~1~       2004-01-21 18:42:24.000000000 -0600

*** 366,372 ****
   at end example

   at noindent
! will cause  at code{nargout} to return 0 inside the function @code{f} and

   at example
  [s, t] = f ()

   at example
  [s, t] = f ()
