Package: octave
Version: 3.8.1-3
Severity: normal

signature() and kurtosis() have changed their calling convntions, but
statistics.m has not been updated.  Here is a patch:

   emp_inv = quantile (x, [0.25; 0.5; 0.75], dim, 7);

   stats = cat (dim, min (x, [], dim), emp_inv, max (x, [], dim), mean (x, dim),
-               std (x, [], dim), skewness (x, dim), kurtosis (x, dim));
+               std (x, [], dim), skewness (x, [], dim), kurtosis (x, [], dim));

 endfunction

I made the change on the stable branch and also added a %!test to catch this.  See changeset http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/ab5983dc0587.

It's best to put bug fixes on the Savannah tracker though so they don't get lost.
