There may be bugs, but without precise test cases that demonstrate the
problems, it is unlikely that they will be fixed.

Please send bug reports to bug-octave at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu dot 

If you are unsure what information to include in a bug report, please
read the section `How to Report Bugs' in the Octave manual.

Thanks,
