Details:

Create file myfcn.m as follow:


%%%%%%%% file myfcn.m%%%%%%%%%
function out = myfcn(varargin)

A = @(x) mysubfcn(x);

save testmat.mat A -v6

function mysubfcn(varargin)
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


and call it from MATLAB to create MAT-file testmat.mat (attached as well).
Then load it in Octave:


octave> load testmat.mat
error: octave_base_value::cell_value(): wrong type argument 'scalar struct'
panic: Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to 'octave-workspace'...
Segmentation fault


It does not seem to depend on the MATLAB version used nor whether the -v6 flag
was used or not.
