It panics and aborts Octave. What am I doing wrong?

$ mkoctfile lookfor.cc
$ octave
Octave 2.9.3 Forge 20041116
>> lookfor inverse
panic: Aborted -- stopping myself...
Aborted
$ octave
Octave 2.9.3 Forge 20041116
>> lookfor "inverse"
panic: Aborted -- stopping myself...
Aborted
$ octave
Octave 2.9.3 Forge 20041116
>> which lookfor
lookfor is the dynamically-linked function from the file
/home/me/test/octave/lookfor/lookfor.oct
>> lookfor("inverse")
panic: Aborted -- stopping myself...
Aborted
