nargin / argv not working as (I) expected at octave-2.1.57 startu p

[Hall, Benjamin]

I'm trying to setup some octave scripts to be called directly from the
command line, but the nargin and argv are not working as expected.  The
following script (myargex.m, basically straight from the documentation)

#########################################
#! /usr/local/bin/octave -qf

printf("Program: %s\n",program_name)

nargin

for kk = 1:nargin
   printf("   arg %d: %s\n",kk,argv{kk} )
end
#########################################

works as expected in octave 2.1.50

/usr/local/bin/octave-2.1.50 -qf myargex.m some args here

displays all the arguments, but in 2.1.57

/usr/local/bin/octave-2.1.57 -qf myargex.m some args here

displays, nargin = 0, and of course none of the arguments

Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Thanks
Ben
