Details:

If a user function or oct/mex file changes, then it is not properly
reloaded by octave.  In version 3.2.3 (debian testing is what I am using) a
recompile of the mex file causes a segfault on subsequent invocation.

According to John W. Eaton, the current development version does not segfault,
but still does not behave properly:


octave:1> mex myhello.c
 octave:2> myhello
 ans =  1.2346
 ## edit the file myhello.c
 octave:3> mex myhello.c
 octave:4> myhello
 warning: library /export/home/jwe/myhello.mex not reloaded due to existing
references
 ans =  1.2346
