Follow-up Comment #19:

Wow, this has turned out to be a very long and difficult problem.

I checked in a final cset
(http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/68d5c4759783) that does not
create an extra column when the input line ends with a separator.  I also made
some changes that will improve the efficiency of dlmread because I avoid
constantly re-sizing the output data matrix for the first 32 rows.

A final question, what happens if you try and read imp6.txt and specify a
delimiter that is incorrect such as a comma?  In Octave, I get a complex
result which seems strange.


dlmread ('imp6.txt', ',')
ans =

    1 +  2i
   11 + 22i


I will open up a new bug report for that issue if Matlab does something
different.

Closing this report.
