bug in pkg, untar

[Tom Holroyd (NIH/NIMH) [E]]

The current cvs pkg doesn't work. At the end of untar.m, the result of unpack 
is placed in
a cell array of length 0, which fails. It's doing something like:

        v = cell(1,0);
        [v{:}] = {'a', 'b'};

which results in

error: A(:) = X: A must be the same size as X

Currently, untar is called with nargout equal to 0.

It's not clear to me why the above isn't just:

        v = {'a', 'b'};

or why it used to work. Did something change with zero length cell arrays?
