Details:

The "dir" function is supposed to list the files within a directory. It seems
to find the files, and to properly store the other attributes like date into a
variable. However, the stored or displayed *names* are empty.

Example:
+verbose+
octave:82> ls
Test1_Ikine_two_ortho_axes.m
octave:83> dir

octave:84> a = dir
a =

  3x1 struct array containing the fields:

    name
    date
    bytes
    isdir
    datenum
    statinfo

octave:85> a.name
ans =
ans =
ans =
octave:86> a.date
ans = 28-Jun-2013 11:55:09
ans = 28-Jun-2013 11:54:54
ans = 28-Jun-2013 12:08:07
-verbose-
