As far as I remember these problems should be mitigated in octave 6, due to 
jwe work with the object oriented interface.

Running this on octave 6 (development) I get (after changing to the chebfun-
master directory):

>> addpath(pwd())
>> x = chebfun('x');
error: octave_base_value::bool_value(): wrong type argument 'sq_string'
error: called from
    chebfun at line 219 column 36


One of the reasons why I follow more or less this issue is because I am 
involved in a more or less related project:
