Details:

When there is a newline ('\n') in the format string for fscanf, it seems that
further calls to fscanf don't read from where it is supposed to.

For example, running the attached program produces:

In matlab:
  ans = 1
  ans = ';'

In octave:
  ans = 1
  ans = 'y'

I have tried it in windows, but may be present in other systems too.
