Details:

These two lines are in a file "test.m"

function test()
disp('text')

executing

run('test.m')

in matlab shows "text" on the command line. Doing the same in octave leads to
no result. So matlab seems to parse AND execute the function, while octave
only parses the function...

For example, the vl_setup script of the vl_feat toolbox
(http://www.vlfeat.org/) doesn't work in octave becauso of that...
