| Bug report for Octave 2.1.36 configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu
| 
| Description:
| -----------
| 
| given:
| 
| cmd = "\"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa\", \"bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb\", \"ccccccccccccccccc\", \"dddddddddddddddd\", \"eeeeeeeeeeeee\", \"fffffffff\""
| 
| the command sprintf (taken from split.m line 82 ) results in:
| octave:76> sprintf ("str2mat (%s);", cmd)
| ans = str2mat ("aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", "bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb", "ccccccccccccccccc", "dddddddddddddddd", "eeeeeeeeeee);
| 
| bug: the rest of the 'e' string and the 'f' string is missing.

I can't reproduce this rpoblem with either 2.1.43 or the current CVS
sources.  Both produce the following result:

  noctave:1> cmd = "\"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa\", \"bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb\", \"ccccccccccccccccc\", \"dddddddddddddddd\", \"eeeeeeeeeeeee\", \"fffffffff\""
cmd = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", "bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb", "ccccccccccccccccc", "dddddddddddddddd", "eeeeeeeeeeeee", "fffffffff"
  octave:2> sprintf ("str2mat (%s);", cmd)
  ans = str2mat ("aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", "bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb", "ccccccccccccccccc", "dddddddddddddddd", "eeeeeeeeeeeee", "fffffffff");
