Details:

If an option is a cell-array, optimset does not set it correctly. The reason
is that optimset uses struct() for setting options. A tiny changeset is
attached. Example, first of incorrect, than of correct (with the change)
behavior:

octave:2> old_optimset ("a", 0, "b", {})
warning: function name `optimset' does not agree with function file name
`/home/olaf/devel/src/octave/scripts/optimization/old_optimset.m'
warning: unrecognized option: a
warning: unrecognized option: b
ans =
{
  a = {}(0x0)
b = {}(0x0)
}

octave:3> optimset ("a", 0, "b", {})
warning: unrecognized option: a
warning: unrecognized option: b
ans =
{
  a = 0
  b = {}(0x0)
}

octave:4>
