Please find a patch attached, it was produced using this command:

diff -Naur octave-3.0.1/src/file-io.cc.original octave-3.0.1/src/file-io.cc >
warning_on_fopen_on_dir.patch
.

With the patch 'fopen' works this way:

"
octave:1> fid = fopen("/tmp", "r")
warning: fopen: '/tmp' file to be opened is actually a directory, most likely the returned FID
will be useless
fid =  3
".

Thanks,
  Sergei.
