Follow-up Comment #13:

@Lachlan: I agree that this is a very difficult bug to trigger and that it is
better to document it, than to jump through hoops to fix it.

I checked in your documentation fix here
(http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/d6fa72047aeb).  I changed the
commit message slightly.  We place only the affected function name in
parentheses; everything else goes into the commit message after the ':'.  So I
changed "(docstring in Fexist)" in the following manner:


Update documentation of "exist" to warn of buggy .oct files (bug #36067).

* variables.cc (Fexist): Add warning to docstring about calling function
with a buggy .oct file.


Closing report.
