Line 92 is empty, and there are only 163 lines in the file unique.m, so 164 
does not exist. My octave does run, so I took a look at the characters in 
unique.m.

octave:3> fid = fopen('unique.m')
fid =  4
octave:4> str = fread (fid, "char=>char").';
octave:5> fclose(fid)
ans = 0
octave:6> unique(double(str))
ans =

 Columns 1 through 16:

octave:7> disp(char(unique(double(str))))

I don't see anything usual.
