[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#699300: #699300: reproducible here

[Roland Mas <lolando@debian.org>]

As suggested on IRC, I tried to reproduce this bug on my
not-getting-any-younger laptop, and I did manage (using octave from
backports, since it's squeeze).  I include CPU info, since this seems to
be relevant.
