Follow-up Comment #1:

Changing the category to "Octave Forge Package".  A maintainer for the
statistics package will need to look at this.  If you can provide a patch that
would help speed things along.

Matlab isn't known for their statistics packages following academically
rigorous statistics.  For reference, I checked with the R language and they
also give '0' for a zero-length interval so returning the minimum limit when
the interval is of zero length is correct.

An additional three BIST tests for unifrnd.m should be


%!assert (unifrnd (0,0), 0)
%!assert (unifrnd (1,1), 1)
%!assert (unifrnd (1,0), NaN)
