Details:

The first input to uigetfile/uiputfile is a filter specification which can be
a Nx2 cell array.  If the cell array is some other shape then bizarre
non-specific errors occur.

Sample Code:


[a,b,c] = uiputfile ({'*.m', 'Matlab files', '*.*', 'All files'})
error: 'name' undefined near line 35 column 50
error: called from
    __file_filter__ at line 35 column 7
    uiputfile at line 75 column 33

octave:1> [a,b,c] = uigetfile ({'*.m', 'Matlab files', '*.*', 'All files'})
error: '__file_filter__' undefined near line 111 column 35
error: called from
    uigetfile at line 111 column 33
