Stuff in optim/ seems to be somewhat broken.

minimize() gives me:

error: scalar cannot be indexed with .
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 35, column 5
error: called from getfield' in file
/usr/local/share/octave/2.1.58/site/m/octave-forge/struct/getfield.m'
error: called from minimize' in file
/usr/local/share/octave/2.1.58/site/m/octave-forge/optim/minimize.m'

which is trivially fixed by changing calls to 'getfield' to calls to
'getfields'.

bfgsmin consistently makes octave dump core on at least one fitting problem
I have. Unfortunately I don't have the time to send a more detailed bug
report just now.
