Details:

There is a mat file (saved from within Matlab R2012b) loading issue with the
newest version of Octave:

GNU Octave, version 3.6.4
octave:1> load thermo
error: load: invalid element type = 15
error: load: trouble reading binary file 'thermo'


However, this works fine in an older version:

GNU Octave, version 3.4.3
octave:1> load thermo.mat
octave:2> whos
Variables in the current scope:

  Attr Name        Size                     Bytes  Class
  ==== ====        ====                     =====  ===== 
       Temp1      15x1                        120  double
       Temp2      15x1                        120  double
       Temp3      15x1                        120  double
       ans         1x39                       363  cell

Total is 84 elements using 723 bytes

Attached is the test file.
