That would be also my guess, since 25000*25000 is 625 million and hence
you do not exceed the 2 gig limit for the index. On the other hand it
can be that the octave version is too old to be capable of using up to 2
gig doubles.

What is the octave version, the current version 3.6.2 is without
problems able to handle that as long as you have enough virtual memory.
