Details:

Octave can not load the attached data file (generated in Octave via
save('-v7',mdname,'matchdata');
). Matlab (R2009a) on the other hand is able to do so.


load  voteresults_01.mat in Matlab works. After loading we find the following
data structure:

matchdata = 

1x1256 struct array with fields:
    matchloc1
    matchloc2
    nbmatches
    votecenter
    voteloc1
    voteloc2
    votemat

Note that votemat are sparse matrices.

In Octave (v 3.0.5 and v 3.2.3) I get the following behavior:

>> load voteresults_01.mat
error: load: invalid element type = 96
error: load: trouble reading binary file `voteresults_01.mat'
error: load: invalid element type = 8                        
error: load: trouble reading binary file `voteresults_01.mat'
error: load: invalid element type = 0                        
error: load: trouble reading binary file `voteresults_01.mat'
error: load: invalid element type = 8                        
error: load: trouble reading binary file `voteresults_01.mat'
error: load: invalid element type = 2                        
error: load: trouble reading binary file `voteresults_01.mat'
error: load: invalid element type = 0                        
error: load: trouble reading binary file `voteresults_01.mat'
error: load: invalid element type = 48                       
error: load: trouble reading binary file `voteresults_01.mat'
error: load: invalid element type = 32768                    
error: load: trouble reading binary file `voteresults_01.mat'
error: load: invalid element type = 0                        
error: load: trouble reading binary file `voteresults_01.mat'
error: load: invalid element type = 0                        
error: load: trouble reading binary file `voteresults_01.mat'

etc
