    _______________________________________________________

Details:

While trying to fix importdata.m (see bug #41630) I hit some errors with
dlmread.

File imp3.txt:

aaaa,11
bbbb, 
cccc,33

(note trailing space on line 2 after comma)

>> dlmread ('imp3.txt', '', 0, 1, 'emptyvalue', NaN)
error: dlmread: A(I,J): column index out of bounds; value 2 out of bound 1


The bug is that dlmread shouldn't error out but rather emit a sensible error
message.
