This was simple enough to fix.  I made the change here http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/70e1451ed9c7.

Unfortunately, the release process for Octave 9 has already started so new features are going onto the development branch (Octave 10) which will be released in approximately one year.  If you need the fix sooner you can simply copy the fminbnd.m file from the Mercurial repository.

fminbnd documentation specifies the requirements for bounds:  The endpoints must be finite.

The 8.2.0 code itself does not check for if the end points are finite.  Please see the example error state when illegal bound specifications are not rejected.  A "isfinite" check may be inserted to detect the input errors.  Thanks.

func=@(x) x.^2;
function stop=func_out(x, optv, state), stop=0; display(x); end
options=optimset('fminbnd'); options.OutputFcn=@func_out;
[k, fval, exitflag, output] = fminbnd (func, -100, 100, options) 
[k, fval, exitflag, output] = fminbnd (func, [], [], options)
[k, fval, exitflag, output] = fminbnd (func, -inf, inf, options)
