Details:

This may be related to bug#34734 <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?34734>. If
the file 'foo.txt' contains


a b

a b


then [a b] = textread("foo.txt", "%s%s") gives

a = 
{
  [1,1] = a
  [2,1] = 
  [3,1] = b
}
b = 
{
  [1,1] = b
  [2,1] = a
  [3,1] = 
}

Doing instead [a b] = strread ("a b\n\na b", "%s%s") gives

a = 
{
  [1,1] = a
  [2,1] = a
}
b = 
{
  [1,1] = b
  [2,1] = b
}

which is what ML gives in both cases.
