I just have noticed the difference between your output 
(and  "Daniel J. Peng" <dpeng at CS dot Princeton dot EDU>
from the links) and mine:

octave:2> ones(2500,25)
warning: connection to external pager (pid = 26872) lost --
warning: attempting to finish pending computations...
warning: broken pipe
octave:3> error("aoeo")
error: aoeo
octave:3> junk = ones(1000)
warning: connection to external pager (pid = 26874) lost --
warning: attempting to finish pending computations...
warning: broken pipe
octave:4> bogus
error: `bogus' undefined near line 4 column 1
octave:4>

I have an extra line:

warning: broken pipe

I have no idea what it might mean...
