How is this behaviour different from matlab itself? Under R12 I get

>> m234567890123456789012345678901234567890=1;
>> save crap.mat 
>> clear all
>> load crap.mat
>> whos
  Name                                  Size           Bytes  Class

  m234567890123456789012345678901       1x1                8  double array

Grand total is 1 elements using 8 bytes
>> m234567890123456789012345678901

m234567890123456789012345678901 =

     1

So this is the fault of the matlab file format not with octave...
