Details:

I'm guessing this is a bug. The latest version I have to test this on is
3.4.0, so I'm not sure if it's still an issue in the current release. Starting
with a and b undefined ...


octave-3.4.0:3> a(1,1,1).b(1) = 2;
octave-3.4.0:4> a(1,1,1).b(1) = 3;
error: a cs-list cannot be further indexed
error: assignment to structure element failed
error: assignment failed, or no method for `scalar struct = scalar'


The above produces no error in Matlab.

I think it's related to the singleton dimensions ...


octave-3.4.0:4> a(1,1,2).b(1) = 2;
octave-3.4.0:5> a(1,1,1).b(1) = 2;


... works just fine.
