Details:

A namelist can contain a / in a character sequence (inside quotes).
read_namelist wrongly interprets it as the ending character of the namelist.
The attached patch checks if any / character is quoted. I am not familiar with
octave, so there may be simpler ways to do this. It also seems to work well
when double quotes and apostrophes contain each other, but my tests were
limited.
I hope the changeset is done right !
