Starting with octave 2.1.60, it appears that the median function fails when
given a scalar input

median(3)
error: median: invalid matrix argument

A one character fix would be:

*** median.m	2005-01-27 08:47:54.000000000 -0500
--- orig/median.m	2005-01-27 08:46:46.000000000 -0500

    sz = size (a);
    s = sort (a, dim);
!   if (numel (a) > 0)
      if (numel (a) == sz(dim))
        if (rem (sz(dim), 2) == 0)
  	i = sz(dim) / 2;
