Details:

The @class interface calls the function @class/display.m when it needs to
display an object of @class.  This works fine when the output is to stdout. 
When the output is to a different file handle, such as when using fdisp, the
output still goes to the screen and the file is left empty.

I've attached a tar file with a sample class and test script which illustrates
the problem.

Matlab talks about overloading not only display(), but also disp().  It's
unclear whether even that will be enough in this case.
