incorrect parsing across lines

[G..]

In octave-3.1, parsing across lines doesn't work as expected:

3.0 gives  (the '#' is essential)
--------------
octave:1> #
octave:1> x = {
> pi
> }
x =

{
  [1,1] =  3.1416
}
--------------

whereas in 3.1.51
--------------
octave:1> #
octave:1> x = {
octave:1> pi
ans =  3.1416
octave:2> }
parse error:

  syntax error

>>> }
    ^

There is no "octave-3.1".  Precisely what version are you using?

This problem is fixed in the current sources in the Mercurial archive
at savannah.
