Changes in load from 2.1.50 to 2.1.57?

[Johansson Nicklas (RTLSN-NPJ)]

The engine toolbox in octave-forge contains a basic interface
for calling Octave from within a C program. The interface uses
a Unix FIFO to load data into Octave with the line:

load -ascii -force "matfifo".

where matfifo is the name of the FIFO.

This works well with octave-2.1.50 on both Linux and Solaris,
but fails for octave-2.1.57 and later versions in both OS.

Is it a bug or is there simply a better way to transport data
from a C/C++ application to Octave, calculate and return the
result back to C/C++ application?

Regards / Nicklas
