Thomas, what exactly was fixed 6 weeks ago? ... octave, an XCode library, or something else?

In either case, please let me know how I'd verify I have the fix.

I'm working wth the 2.9.17 release of octave, but can easily upgrade. 

My XCode is 3.0.

gcc --version 
i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)

It is my understanding that some/many of Fink's packages are compiled using 4.2.2 instead of 4.0.1. This is due to a desire to switch form g95 to gfortran. Is it possible that this problem follows from mixing compiler versions?

Ben
