That was not the error messages I got and I have no idea about the mentioned
"scope". This hack is only some indication for "something does not work".

If there was a clean and priceless solution of detecting this, I would
agree. But the intention to leave the Octave language by using oct/mex-files
is to get fast code. I would bother more passing expensive checks each time
calling a oct/mex-file, than recompiling everything at startup, if
necessary.
