Details:

Octave often fails when I try to load a previously saved data file. Example:

octave-3.6.1.exe:2> x=randn(100000,1)
octave-3.6.1.exe:3> save test.mat x
octave-3.6.1.exe:4> load test.mat
error: load: failed to load matrix constant
error: load: trouble reading ascii file `test.mat'
error: load: reading file test.mat

This does not happen with "lighter" data. E.g, this does work:

octave-3.6.1.exe:6> x=randn(100,1)
octave-3.6.1.exe:7> save test.mat x
octave-3.6.1.exe:8> load test.mat

But I have not found a consistent threshold for the size of the variable where
the error occurs.

This happens in my installation of Octave 3.6.1 for Windows Microsoft Visual
Studio 2010 (by Michael Goffioul), both in the CLI and in the experimental
GUI. No success in re-installing.

No problem with other installations of Octave (e.g. 3.4.3), or for data saved
in binary format.

Thanks for your attention,
Helios
