Follow-up Comment #1:

Where did you get base64encode from?
I see no such function in any version of Octave I have installed (3.2.3,
3.6.4, 3.7.3+)

In the development version there is a function named base64_encode
but it does not display the behaviour you reported:


>> version 
ans = 3.7.3+
>> which base64_encode 
'base64_encode' is a built-in function from the file
libinterp/interpfcn/data.cc
>> base64_encode ([99 99 0 0])
ans = AAAAAADAWEAAAAAAAMBYQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=


notice that in the above the numbers are being treated as double, if I want
them to be considered of integer type you need to use an explicit cast


>> base64_encode (uint64 ([99 99 0 0]))
ans = YwAAAAAAAABjAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=


I suspect the function you are using is from some additional package rather
than from Octave core, can you specify where it comes from?
