error assigning value to multi-dim struct

[Ray Zimmerman]

I'm guessing this is a bug. The latest version I have to test this on is 3.4.0, so I'm not sure if it's still an issue in the latest. Starting with a and b undefined ...

octave-3.4.0:3> a(1,1,1).b(1) = 2;

octave-3.4.0:4> a(1,1,1).b(1) = 3;

error: a cs-list cannot be further indexed

error: assignment to structure element failed

error: assignment failed, or no method for `scalar struct = scalar'

I think it's related to the singleton dimensions ...

octave-3.4.0:4> a(1,1,2).b(1) = 2;

octave-3.4.0:5> a(1,1,1).b(1) = 2;

... works just fine.
