You haven't given us enough detail to help you, much less fix any
problem in Octave that you might have found.

If you think you have found a bug in Octave, please submit a
*complete* bug report to the bug list at address@hidden  Please read
http://www.octave.org/bugs.html before submitting your report so you
will know what information to include so that someone might actually
be able to reproduce and fix the problem.
