When running rundemos.m in octave-3.8.2-rc2, I see a few of these num2str
errors:

:
- test inputdlg with prescribed row by column sizes and defaults.
Press <enter> to continue:
/home/philip/devel/octdev/oct382rc2/../octave-3.8.2-rc2/scripts/gui/listdlg.m
example 1:
 disp ('- test listdlg with selectionmode single. No caption, no prompt.');
 itemlist = {'An item \alpha', 'another', 'yet another'};
 s = listdlg ('ListString',itemlist, 'SelectionMode','Single');
 imax = numel (s);
 for i=1:1:imax
   disp (['Selected: ',num2str (i),': ', itemlist{s (i)}]);
 end

- test listdlg with selectionmode single. No caption, no prompt.
/home/philip/devel/octdev/oct382rc2/../octave-3.8.2-rc2/scripts/gui/listdlg.m
example 1: failed
Invalid call to num2str.  Correct usage is:

 -- Function File:  num2str (X)
 -- Function File:  num2str (X, PRECISION)
 -- Function File:  num2str (X, FORMAT)

Press <enter> to continue:


due to some syntax errors in listdlg.m's demos (space between function name
and parameter list within a [  ] construct).

Changeset attached - couldn't upload it to nabble.
Also changed single-quoted strings to double quoted.
