| This is how "my" 'octave' behaves:
| 
| "
| octave:5>  a=[1+i;1+i]
| a =
| 
|    1 + 1i
|    1 + 1i
| 
| octave:6> a'
| ans =
| 
|    1 - 1i   1 - 1i
| 
| octave:7> a'*a
| ans =  4
| octave:8> b=2*a
| b =
| 
|    2 + 2i
|    2 + 2i
| 
| octave:9> a'*b
| ans =  8
| octave:10>                   
| "

| octave-2.1.73 in the URL you've posted which is considered to be correct,
| right ?

Did you compile Octave with gfortran?  Is your blas library compiled
with g77 (or something else that similarly assumes the g77/f2c calling
conventions)?  If so, then I'm surprised by the result that you see.
