It's really no problem. I was confused because the error message and I could
not found the error in the self defined function. Now, it's clear and the
function will be called "min_max". First should everything else work and
then I will again think about the function names.

Thanks a lot

Or, if you really need the minmax name before this problem is fixed
properly in the Octave sources, you can do this renaming by hand in
your installed copy.
