yes, I am aware of this property of distributed cvs types. Actually,
when I refer to version numbers, these do not correspond to my local
repository but to the official one here:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/
In this case revision 11407 is:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/ed827ffa5a43

oups, sorry for this, I tried to merge three commits into one but
apparently I missed the first one. In the attachment you can find the
complete version, hopefully with no further errors (I had to recover
the the first part of the changes from my memory, but it seems to work
well).
