Update of bug #41399 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Invalid                
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #1:

>From the docstring for lu:


Compute the LU decomposition of A.  If A is full subroutines from
LAPACK are used and if A is sparse then UMFPACK is used.  The
result is returned in a permuted form, according to the optional
return value P.

[...]

With two output arguments, returns the permuted forms of the upper
and lower triangular matrices, such that 'A = L * U'.  With one
output argument Y, then the matrix returned by the LAPACK routines
is returned.


This behavior is required for compatibility with Matlab.
