I am also running Octave on a RedHat 5.2 system and it is configured for
dynamically linked functions.  In fact I have written several and I use
them all the time.  However when I tried the oregonator function the
compile went fine but when I try to call it I get a core dump.

This puzzled me so I made a small change to the function and got rid of
the pow function and now it works.  I have no idea why this might be
happening.  There are no errors at compile time.
