[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #34183] 'save' inside function fills 'argn' with binary 0

[Rik]

Update of bug #34183 (project octave):

                Priority:              5 - Normal => 1 - Later

Follow-up Comment #1:

Wow, what an esoteric issue.  I can confirm this on a recent development tip. 
One would hope that automatic variables created by Octave would respect the
string_fill_char() setting (default = space) but I guess that isn't always
true.

I'm going to lower the priority since there are many possible workarounds. 
Some possible suggestions

1) Use a more powerful text editor
2) save only the variables you need
3) save in a binary format, re-read into Octave and delete any variables like
argn that you dislike, save in text format again
