Auto-reload not working in 2.1.34/Linux

[John Collins]

I've been using Octave for some time, mostly 2.1.33 on a Redhat Linux 
7.1 system. I moved over to RH 7.2 and Octave 2.1.34, and I find that 
the "automatic reload" function doesn't work any more when I edit a 
function file. The value of ignore_function_time_stamp is "system", as 
expected. When I edit a function file and then re-invoke the function, I 
see the old version. I don't see any way to force loading a new version 
short of restarting Octave. I'm running Octave inside of emacs, and I've 
tried using the emacs "send current function" option in the code buffer, 
but the comments don't get parsed correctly when I do that. I don't see 
any way to manually force reload of a function if the timestamp method 
fails.

Is this a known problem, or am I missing something fundamental here?

Thanks.
