[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #38870] load reads stochastic data from MAT -file

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #38870 (project octave):

I think you're on the right track about the short variable names. However, the
4-byte padding for short names is correct, at least in some of my v5 mat files
that were written by Matlab.

Perhaps Matlab is flexible in how it reads the type element following the
name, so it is permissive enough to read in your badly formatted file.

Can your in-laboratory program be modified to pad short variable names to only
4 bytes instead of 8? Or to ensure all variable names are longer than 4
characters?

Can you attach the file you get if you load this dataset into Matlab and then
save it in v5 format?
