Error on a simple struct assignment

[Eric Salemi]

Hi,

I'm working with Octave 3.2.2 on a windows XP machine. I type the
following 3 commands and get a error after the 3rd (you'll notice the
2nd and 3rd commands are exactly the same):

> s = struct;

> s(1,1,1).field1 = 0
s =
{
  field1 = 0
}

> s(1,1,1).field1 = 0
error: invalid assignment to cs-list outside multiple assignment.
error: assignment failed, or no method for `struct = scalar'

Maybe there is something I don't understand, but I don't see why Octave
consider s(1,1,1).field1 as a cs-list in the 3rd command. As a side
note, doing the same with (2,2,2) as index works flawlessly. Can I
consider this issue a bug? Is there a workaround?

Eric.
