[Scilab-users] Cell insertion operation using {...} is buggy?!

[Dirk Reusch]

Hello,

Using precompiled Scilab 6.0.0 Linux 64bit, I experienced the
following:

----------------------------------------------------------------

Startup execution:
  loading initial environment
  

--> b{1}=2 // Ok
 b  = 

  [1x1 constant]


--> a=2 // Ok
 a  = 

   2.


--> a{1}=2 // Not OK, should throw an error? 
 a  = 

   1.16D-316

------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems, that the cell insertion operation via "{...}" when applied
on an existing variable does strange things.

Thanks for any advice and further insight,

Dirk

PS: Tested also with nightly build  branch-6.0-1488991653 ... with the
very same result!
