First of all, you should use octave3.0 instead of octave2.9, which is now
deprecated (we are waiting for Bug#457675 for having octave2.9 dropped from
Debian).  

Second, I cannot run the script you indicated:

> script: http://www.wraith.sf.ca.us/ntp/allan.oct

Because it tries to open a file called "loopstats", which is not available.
So far, I cannot replicate the bug.
