problem with structure assignment

[John W. Eaton]

The following bug was reported before 3.2.2

  https://www-old.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/bug-octave/2009-July/008949.html

Looking at the hg log for the release-3-2-x archive, it looks like the
patch was applied before version 3.2.2, but I still have the problem
in the copy of 3.2.2 that I built.

Examples that cause trouble are

  a.b{1}.c = 1

or the one given in the original report

  s.a(1).c.d = 123

(with a and S previously undefined).  My copy of 3.2.2 gives the error

  error: can't perform indexing operations for <unknown type> type

in both cases.

Looking at the Octave 3.2.2 sources from ftp.octave.org, the patch
appears to be there.

Both work correctly for me in the current development version.

Is it just me?  Do these examples work properly for other people with
3.2.2?

Thanks,
