This is a bug in the way Octave sets values for nargin and nargout in
some cases.  It's been fixed for 1.1.1 with the following patch:

Sun Jan 15 15:08:04 1995  John Eaton  <jwe at schoch dot che dot utexas dot edu>

	* src/tree-expr.cc (tree_function::eval (int)): Correctly set
	nargin and nargout to zero when evaluating function.
