Please try the following patch.  With it, Octave should not print the
contents of struct arrays that have more than one element.  Instead,
it simply prints the field names.  If a struct array has one element,
it is be printed as before, and the number of levels to print is still
controlled by the struct_levels_to_print internal variable.
