Octave has a bug in saving or reading complex matrices.  See the dialogue
below which shows that one is unable to load a complex matrix whixh has
previously been saved.

octave:7> clear
octave:8> dd=rand(2,3)+i*rand(2,3)
dd =

   0.04443 + 0.72006i   0.23357 + 0.95191i   0.68667 + 0.32167i
   0.67211 + 0.14334i   0.63101 + 0.65387i   0.61623 + 0.97841i

octave:9> save try dd
octave:10> clear
octave:11> load try
error: failed to load matrix constant
error: load: unable to load variable `dd'
error: reading file try
octave:12>

This error occurs using both Sun and NeXT binaries.
