Follow-up Comment #7:

Trying to see the origins of this problem, I have found that in 4.2.1, using
the script desribed in the first comment, I get


>> temp.imread
my imread
>> temp.imread
my imread


This has been broken in
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/551fa3879615


>> temp.imread
ans =

error: octave_base_value::print (): wrong type argument 'mex function'
>> temp.imread
ans =

error: octave_base_value::print (): wrong type argument 'mex function'


In http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/2d4a7ae1f6cd appears difference
between first and second call:


>> temp.imread
ans =

error: octave_base_value::print (): wrong type argument 'mex function'
>> temp.imread
ans =

error: octave_base_value::print (): wrong type argument 'user-defined
function'


This has been reported in bug#51295, and has been fixed in
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/ffd27f53fc79, but the fix is good
for the first call, the second call finds the wrong function.

I hope this information will help to fix this bug.
