Details:

In the financial package of octave-forge, the holidays() function gives an
invalid result when passing in a date vector containing New Year's Eve as the
end date when New Year's day falls on a Saturday.

Example:

octave:34> holidays(734503, 734504)
ans =  734503
octave:35> holidays(734503, 734503)
ans = [](0x1)


I fixed the problem in my local copy by changing line 38 to:

yrs = year(sd):year(ed+1); % I added the +1
