Details:

Dear all,

the attached file was created in Matlab with


a{1}=1;
save('test73.mat','a','-v7.3')


If I try to load it in Octave 3.8.2 I get


octave:1> load 'test73.mat'
warning: load: can't read 'a' (unknown datatype)
error: octave_base_value::load_binary(): wrong type argument '<unknown type>'
error: load: error while reading hdf5 item a
