Details:

When creating an object (cf tar file) in a @ folder, if subsref is overloaded,
nargout is always 1 while it not necessarily is.

subsref is not only used to access data members but also to call member
functions which can return more than one argument (as detailed on
http://www.mathworks.com/help/techdoc/matlab_oop/brdqinq.html in the "Dot
Notation vs. Function Notation" section).

The given tar file contains a bogus object that should not crash when called
this way:
obj=MyObject;
[a,b]=obj.do_something(1);

Thank you, I love octave !

Regards,
Vincent
