Cool. It'll take me awhile to play with it, because
DLing the octave sources is non-trivial for me, but
I will get to it.

I have included a tarball of my work on an Octave
interface, including the m-files I wrote to generate
LaTeX and Scheme expressions for TeXmacs output. 

Also, from my work so far it certainly seems that
Scheme is rendered inside TeXmacs faster than LaTeX. 

So, I prefer to use Scheme where possible -- but if
LaTeX offers a simpler solution than Scheme for
certain
formatting options we shouldn't hesitate to use it, of
course.

I don't understand why you are seeing these
difficulties, really -- Octave doesn't fork less
for me when run over a pipe. Also, while help does
have problems, they don't seem to be related to 
forking info -- rather TeXmacs gets flooded as
Octave dumps far too much help text. 

I'll apply the patch and see what I find.

You should play with octave via PS1/PS2 coding to
compare the behavior.
