It works for me with OS X 10.2.8, octave 2.1.50 built from source.
[per ~] % gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.3/specs
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1435)

Looking at imread.m, it uses fread() which suffered from an infamous 
bug in libsdtc++ in previous versions which probably causes the problem.

Updating i) the developer tools and ii) the fink package descriptions 
and iii) reinstalling octave should probably fix your problem. (Check 
fink lists etc. too.)
