size of 3d array

[Norbert Hauser]

I haven't found the following difference between octave and matlab in the 
compatibility list.

The output of

a=zeros(2,2,2);
[s1,s2]=size(a)

in octave is:
s1 = 2
s2 = 2

and in matlab is:
s1 =
     2
s2 =
     4

Is there an explanation, why matlab combines the dimensions 2+3 in s2, but 
octave doesn't? Has this been implemented intentionally, and can I make octave 
behave like matlab in this case without changing existing code?

Despite of such small problems I am more and more impressed by octave's 
capabilities Thanks to all who have contributed!
