As this is currently an octave-forge function the bug should be sent to
octave-dev at lists.sourceforge.net. That being said it, textread probably
should be a core function, so hey..

The issue is that textread ignores the blank lines in the header in the
TextRead::lines method and then effective does it against when it
subtracts the number of headerlines from nr_rows. Patch attached.
