The error message indicates exactly what it says, that the type of a 
variable is unknown and indexing like f(n) is not defined as there is no 
assign or subsref function defined for the unknown type. That being 
said, this should never happen as it means that the return type of an 
oct-file is undefined.... This is ok, if the same oct-file throws an 
error so that the user knows what happened and the execution of the 
script is stopped.

Something like this might happen in the artificial case

DEFUN_DLD (toto, args, , "")
{
 return octave_value ();
}

Ok, so taking that it is a bug, I tried running under 2.9.3 and see no 
issues. So if it was a bug it seems it is fixed...

David
