The problem was in my commit. It turns out that Matlab is more permissive than Octave.

In set_prior.m, I used initialization of cellarray bayestopt_.name to [], when I should have used {}

In Matlab a= [[]; {'sss'}] is a 1x1 cellarray, the same as [{}; {'sss'}]

In Octave a=[[]; {'sss'}] is a 2x1 cellarray with an empty matrix as the first element and a=[{}; {'sss'}] is a 1x1 cellarray

I think Octave does the right thing

Hi Marco,

The following two tests are currently broken in master and 4.3 (only under Octave):

* identification/kim/kim2.mod
* identification/as2007/as2007.mod

I tracked down the problem to commit 3ff832ddccd085426eaa79fd0f29ae3e9400eac5 (using bisection). I fail to understand how this commit can break the tests.

Also note that gsa/ls2003.mod randomly fails on both MATLAB and Octave. This is probably of lesser priority.

Best,
