Only the datevec dependent problem: I expect YES Ben, this still seems to me 
being a compiler or a dependency problem. I was asking you to try the simple 
command 'strptime('09/13','%m/%d')' because I somehow sensed that it could be 
this problem - a bug has been solved for the Apple strptime function 6 weeks ago 
and it somehow seems to me now that you either are not using XCode's original C 
library *or* that another dependency that uses Apple's C library isn't compiled 
bug-free -> 'panic: Bus error'. Please correct me everybody if this can't be true...

So either there is a compiler problem or a dependency problem (both must be on 
the Fink side of life as it seems to me) because it does work for Marius's HMUG 
binary version of Octave and for Octave.app too. However, at this point I don't 
know how I could help here to find out what is going wrong, I just can tell you 
about my thoughts and about my experiences...

   Good luck,
