Details:

For a textfile data.txt containing the lines:


1 2
1


the command importdata("data.log"," ") crashes in current dev:


>> importdata("data.log"," ")
error: fields(2): out of bound 1
error: called from
    importdata>importdata_ascii at line 270 column 12
    importdata at line 132 column 37


while until few days ago (and in 4.0) it used to worked like:


>> importdata("data.log"," ")
ans =

   1   2
   1   0


This breaks a lot of scripts.
