Subject: save does not work with structures

Bug report for Octave 2.0.9 configured for i586-pc-linux-gnu

Description:
-----------

On my system, the "save" command does not seem to work with structures.


Repeat-By:
---------

------ octave session
octave:1> X.a=1
X.a = 1
octave:2> X.b=2
X.b = 2
octave:3> X
X =
{
  a = 1
  b = 2
}

octave:4> save test X
error: save: wrong type argument `Struct'
error: evaluating index expression near line 4, column 1
------ end of octave session

Note: "save test X.a" does not work either.


Fix:
---

Fix wanted...
