Details:

The configuration information should be read-only (since you can't change
configuration like which compiler you used at run-time).  However, the
function octave_config_info supports assignment and it produces strange
results.


octave:1> octave_config_info ('octetcdir')
ans = /home/rik/downloads/local/share/octave/3.7.7+/etc
octave:2> octave_config_info ('octetcdir') = '/home/rik'
octave_config_info = /rmi/ke
octave:3> octave_config_info ('octetcdir')
ans = //eme/rik
