Defining a function "load" 
(I know it is a bad idea to overwrite load())
and then calling this function once makes the packages disappear. 
Calling "pkg list" leads to "no packages installed"


clear *
pkg list  %% is OK

function res = load(a)
  res = a;
endfunction
b = load(2);
pkg list  %% is not OK any more
