Yeah, my mistake for not reporting it in the Savannah tracker. I just
fixed that.

I shouldn't mark it as closed in Debian until the actual fix goes into
Debian, i.e. Octave makes a release with the fix, and we package that
release for Debian.

I'll attack the bug today and tomorrow anyways and let you decide if
it should go into 3.4.0 or 3.4.1

The Gentoo packager hangs out in #octave. I'll tell him to make sure
he at least peeks at the maintainer's mailing list once in a while.
