Details:

- Using Octave 3.8.1 on Linux 3.11.0-19-generic #33~precise1-Ubuntu

- Working with m-files stored on NFS filesystem


Steps to reproduce:

* Use Octave GUI editor to create a simple m-file that produces an output to
commandline or to a plot 

* The file is stored on NFS

* Do the following multiple times:
 ** Change a parameter in the script to trigger different output
 ** Save file
 ** execute using <F5> or GUI console
 ** Observe ouput

At some point, the output does not change even if you change the parameters in
the m-file. Octave does not execute the most recent version of the m-file, but
some previous version.

This means that the m-code displayed in the editor is not what is actually
executed by Octave. Very confusing!

I couldn't reproduce this with locally stored files, but only with file stored
on NFS.

Please let me know if you need additional information.
