@Colin: The specfun package isn't marked as unmaintained on the Octave 
Forge website.  It appears to be maintained by "The Octave Community".

It is true that heaviside.m has recently been removed from specfun's 
default branch by Carnë, but as long as there is no new release, 
heaviside is still officially part of specfun (release 1.1.0 from 2011-12).

@Clinton: As you probably understand now, your remark is correct, but 
this issue will not be fixed since the next release of specfun will no 
longer contain the heaviside function.

HTH,
Julien.
