Is it because you are not seeing the problem, or you're not sure where
to start to debug it?

Can you generate a bad error message reliably?

What does the message look like just before the call to error()?  What
does the message look like just inside the error() funciton?  If they
are different, then I suspect a compiler/library bug, perhaps similar
to the one described here:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24196

Though if it were precisely this bug, I'm surprised that Octave runs
at all.
