I thought I gave it.  Here it is again:
 
a=-0.03597396637549816
b=[]for x=1:500b=[b,a]save stest bload stestend
Here it is running:
 
octave-3.0.3.exe:13> a=-0.03597396637549816a = -0.035974octave-3.0.3.exe:14>octave-3.0.3.exe:14> b=[]b = [](0x0)octave-3.0.3.exe:15> for x=1:500> b=[b,a]> save stest b> load stest> enderror: load: failed to load matrix constanterror: load: trouble reading ascii file `stest'error: load: reading file stesterror: evaluating for command near line 15, column 1octave-3.0.3.exe:15>
 
The reason I wrote it that way was because it fails predictably.  Another version:
 
a=-0.03597396637549816
b=[]
for x=1:383
b=[b,a]
endsave stest bload stest
b=[b,a]
save stest bload stest
 
In this second program the first case loads and the second fails.
