bug: 2.1.xx can't read binary files generated from 2.0.16

[João Cardoso]

Hi,

the subject says everything:

from: GNU Octave, version 2.0.16 (alpha-suse-linux-gnu) -- a suse rpm
package

octave:1> a=1;save -binary po a

bash-2.04$ od -x po
0000000 634f 6174 6576 312d 4c2d 0100 0000 6100
0000020 0000 0000 0100 0007 0000 0000 f000 003f
                          ^

from GNU Octave, version 2.1.31 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) -- current CVS
sources

octave:1> a=1;save -binary po a

address@hidden od -x po
0000000 634f 6174 6576 312d 4c2d 0100 0000 6100
0000020 0000 0000 0100 0009 0000 0000 f000 003f
                          ^

octave:1> load "~jcard/po"
error: load: trouble reading binary file `~jcard/po'

This also happens with binary files generated from previous versions of
2.1.xx, don't know which.
