Details:

Here are some results for num2str() that don't look so good:


>> num2str(complex(2,Inf))
error: sprintf: invalid format specified
error: called from:
error:  
/usr/local/src/octave/octave/build-gui-12/../octave/scripts/general/num2str.m
at line 161, column 9
>> num2str(complex(Inf,2))
error: sprintf: invalid format specified
error: called from:
error:  
/usr/local/src/octave/octave/build-gui-12/../octave/scripts/general/num2str.m
at line 161, column 9
>> num2str(complex(2,NA))
ans = 2NAi
>> num2str(complex(2,NaN))
ans = 2NaNi
