Hm. Perhaps this one needs to be sent upstream? The bug is actually extremely 
easy to reproduce in an octave session. I don't know that the following code is 
minimal, but it is small:

info = struct (zeros (0, 1),
                 {"name", "date", "bytes", "isdir", "datenum", "statinfo"});
info(1,1).name = "asdf"

These lines are inspired by line 115 of 
/sw/share/octave/3.4.3/m/miscellaneous/dir.m . On my x86_64 build of Octave it 
works fine, on my i386 one I get the error: invalid assignment to cs-list 
outside multiple assignment message.

Thanks,
Sean
