Details:

rat() provide a leading unnecessary line break which makes the output not
evaluate-able (Works fine with matlab).


octave:1> rat(0.75)
ans =

          
1 + 1/(-4)

octave:2> eval(rat(0.75))
octave:3> 


I've attached a quick patch which solves this problem.


octave:1> eval(rats(0.75))
ans =                 0.75
