I think this is an issue to take up with Debian.  If they have agreed to provide maintenance then they can figure out which patches to backport.

Octave itself, i.e., this bug tracker, is entirely maintained by volunteers and our latest stable series is the 3.4.X line.  We are already stretched to thinly developing new code on the development branch and supporting a single stable line (3.4) to contemplate also supporting a second stable line (3.2).

JordiGH, let me remember as you said few days ago in #octave IRC channel something like "Because of Debian Squeeze is current stable and release cycle of Debian is two years long we should ...", didnt you?
Squeeze's stop support date is not announced yet even AFAIK. 3.2.4 is default version shipped with Squeeze.

Anyway i'll try to build current stable Octave later and tel you results.

Can you try with a newer version of Octave? I don't expect we will be maintaining the 3.2.4 release anymore, and I don't see this problem with the current stable branch in Mercurial.

While testing patch for #34065 i've noticed that octave don't want to see files in current directory if theirs filename starting with a number and refuses to run such files when specifiyng full path (actually like Octave GUI does - i noticed this fact in GUI for the first). For example:

$ cd ~
$ echo "a = [1 2 3]" > 4.m
$ cat 4.m
a = [1 2 3]
$ cp 4.m chet.m
$ octave
octave:1> pwd
ans = /home/andr
octave:2> run chet.m
a =
   1   2   3
octave:3> run 4.m
error: run: 4.m not found
error: called from:
error:   /usr/share/octave/3.2.4/m/miscellaneous/run.m at line 55, column 7
octave:3> run '/home/andr/chet.m'
a =
   1   2   3
octave:4> run '/home/andr/4.m'
error: run: file must exist and be a valid Octave script file
error: called from:
error:   /usr/share/octave/3.2.4/m/miscellaneous/run.m at line 46, column 2


Any ideas?
