octave 3.2.4 - sprintf error message

[Michael.Eyer]

Dear Users,

we like to switch in the near future from Version 3.0.5 to 3.2.4 and getting an 
error message in the early tests with 3.2.4.

We are using the following script in 3.0.5 and 3.2.4:

# cat rwu_test_sprintf.m 
1
2 VL_STIEL_LINIE_ROH=  ["a";"b";"c"];
3 
4 VL_STIEL_LINIE=cellstr(VL_STIEL_LINIE_ROH);
5
6
7 VL_TEST=sprintf("String ->%s<-",VL_STIEL_LINIE(2))

After executing the script in 3.0.5 we get this result: VL_TEST = String ->b<-

In 3.2.4 we get this error:

error: sprintf: wrong type argument `cell'
error: called from:
error:   ./rwu_test_sprintf.m at line 7, column 8

(I added the line numbers above in the script for better reference to the error 
message)

Anyone have an idea what's the problem?

Regards, 

Michael Eyer
