My goal is to build a large sparse matrix out of an unknown number of
smaller matrices, that is why I would like it to readjust its size as
I am assigning to it. Your fix works on the first assignment, but
octave crashes on the second.

x = sparse(2,0)
x(:,1:2) = speye(2)  # crashed here before fix
x(:,3:4) = speye(2)  # now it crashes here.
