Follow-up Comment #3:

@woellhaf: Can you show a typical Octave session including the "strange" and
non deterministic error messages you get. Here is what I get if I run your
test script twice:


octave:1> ls
DemoError1.m
octave:2> DemoError1
error: parse error near line 6 of file /tmp/mozilla_pantxo0/DemoError1.m

  syntax error

>>> function [y]=snow(x)
           ^
octave:3> 
octave:3> DemoError1
error: parse error near line 6 of file /tmp/mozilla_pantxo0/DemoError1.m

  syntax error

>>> function [y]=snow(x)
           ^
octave:4> 


I admit that the error message is not very helpful to determine the origin of
the error -ideally something like "unclosed parents were found" would help-
but at least it shows the line where the parser gets confused, and it is
predictable for me. This is on linux.
