Again,

What about pushing this fix to stable branch, so it will enter 4.2.1?

Rik,

if we were a few days before a release, you are absolutely right.

But now, we are a few months from 4.2.1, which will be a bug fix release.
Such bugs, though not important, but with a localized fix,
and without environmental damage, should be part of 4.2.1.
That's why I would to see it in the stable branch.

It doesn't fix an important bug, like a crash or an incorrect answer, it just makes Octave slightly more Matlab compatible. This isn't enough to make it worth of being backported.

According to the documentation, "If the object does not exist, waitfor returns immediately without processing any events." This was easy to implement. I checked in a cset here (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/388d12bb24b5).

waitfor throws an error if its input is empty:

while Matlab continues silently:
