Subject: strcmp change?

I noticed that strcmp has changed in CVS version (relative to 2.1.71).

Previously,  strcmp (x, "a") would return 0 for non-string x, now
it returns an error:

octave:13> x=strcmp(1, "a")
error: value on right hand side of assignment is undefined
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 13, column 2


Is this change for matlab's compatibility?

Sincerely,

Dmitri.
