                Category:             Interpreter => Octave Function        
                  Status:               Confirmed => Works For Me

Follow-up Comment #3:

The help for the fork function contains the following:

So your "else" case should have either an exec() or an exit() in it after it
does something useful. If the child process does not exit, the waitpid() call
in the main process will block.

Everything looks like it's working as expected to me.
