I think that you need to provide some more information about what you are doing, 
which OSX and hardware platform you are using, where you got your Octave from, 
etc. Try calling "bug_report" in Octave to see what else is very useful for us. 
All this because I cannot reproduce the problem with my 3.0.5 binary:

   $ ~/bin/Octave.app.3.0.5/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/mkoctfile sushi.cc
   $ ~/bin/Octave.app.3.0.5/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave -q
   octave-3.0.5:1> sushi
   ans =  1

Best regards,
