I say vaguely as I can't even remember which platform I was running on, let alone which version. Also, it wasn't with chol, it was with an m-file I had written myself. After that background, it turned out that an m-file was missing it's 'function' keyword. So the first thing it did was try to invoke itself. I have just tried that in 2.1.71 on OSX 10.4.6 and the behavior is little more conventional. Is it possible that one of the functions called by chol, or chol itself, has been altered in this way? I think I had done it to check the behaviour of a function (ie so I could see the internal variables at the command line) and messed up returning it to normal. This is all rather vague recollection from 18 months or more ago, though. -- atp ------------------------------------------------------------- Octave is freely available under the terms of the GNU GPL.
