  Hello,

  this patch is for that :

  size(reshape(zeros(0,20),40,0))

  returns [40,0], instead of the current [0,0]. 

  This helps (my code, at least) handle more easily matrices with one
zero dimension. 

  It sounds reasonable to expect from reshape(A,H,W) to return a
H-by-W matrix, as long as prod(size(A))==H*W. Doesn't it?
