AW: another bug? with arrays of structures?

[Reiner.Suikat]

Sorry for that, I must have mistyped something, it actually works.

But I just found out where my real problem comes from, its reloading an array 
of structs from file:
 
Octave 2.1.50:
>> a(2).f=1
a =
{
  f =
  (
    [1] = []
    [2] = 1
  )
}

>> save test a
>> clear all
>> load test
>> a
a =
{
  f =
  (
    [1] = []
    [2] = 1
  )
}

>> a(2)
ans =
{
  f = 1
}

>>

The same in Octave 2.1.69:
octave:44> a(2).f=1
a =
{
  f =

  (,
    [1] = [](0x0)
    [2] = 1
  ,)

}

octave:45> save test a
octave:46> clear all
octave:47> load test
octave:48> a
a =
{
  f =

  {
    [1,1] = [](0x0)
    [1,2] = 1
  }

}

octave:49> a(2)
error: invalid vector index = 2
octave:49>

Obviously something gets changed when reloading the array of structs from file, 
all the sudden a.f has two indices rather than just one. This also happens when 
loading the file saved with 2.1.50 into 2.1.69. 

Thanks for your help
