The fact is that up to now, I couldn't run octave in a separate thread
without suffering other problems, which seem to be related to stdin
redirection (see my other mails on the subject). I'm looking for alternate
solutions.

Note that one advantage of running octave in a separate process is
that you could imagine running several octave instances within the
same GUI. (there are drawbacks, of course, I'm just trying to be
positive).
