Details:

Curently textscan.m returns an empty numeric scalar ( []0x0 ) if no data were
read.

ML seems to return a cell array of empty cells with size (1,
<nr_of_format_specifiers>):
{
  [1,1] = [](0x0)
  [1,2] = [](0x0)
  [1,3] = [](0x0)
}

The fix is ready, will be combined with that of bug #36356.
