Follow-up Comment #6:

This is due to round-off error.  If I subtract the bin centers generated by
Matlab from those generated by Octave the difference is usually 0. 
Occasionally, however, there are differences on the order of a few eps.  In
the worst case, there is a difference of 8 eps or 1.8e-15.  It's pretty small,
but that is the cause of the problem.

I think there must be a better way within hist to calculate the bin centers
without getting so much round-off error.
