Thanks for your report.

This is a known issue:

 https://mailman.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/octave-maintainers/2010-December/021930.html

There's not much we can do at the Debian level. Looks like the solution
is to have fstat.m removed from Octave core. This will probably happen
in some future release.

Best,
