merge 499565 506833
thanks

Actually, it is not a Scilab bug but a gfortran
See: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37863
Upcoming version of Scilab (5.0.3) contains a workaround for this bug.

Btw, packages are available here:
http://www.scilab.org/team/sylvestre.ledru/
until it is uploaded in Debian.
