Why does:
plot(randn(2,100)', '+')
which looks like this in Matlab:

In Octave 2.1.50 on Linux, it doesn't look like your octave_randn figure
above, it looks like the matlab_randn except that the points are all red
instead of blue and green. The distribution in your octave plot is all
wrong - the points are not normally distributed. Is it possible that you
somehow defined a new randn function? Your distribution in Octave is a
strange, symmetrical mixture.
