Follow-up Comment #2:

Fixed in cset c490eac28bbb. There is still a matlab incompatibility: Octave
tries to find an approximation which fits into LEN (second arg of rats) but
Matlab seems to do some fancy stuff to calculate a tolerance from LEN and then
call rat with this tolerance.

For example octave returns 22/7 for rats(pi, 4) whereas Matlab returns "  *",

I'm closing this report because the original problem (numerator/denumerator
overflow) is fixed.
