As reported by Guenther as bug 16778 
<https://bugzilla.scilab.org/16778>, the same error may occur after 
loading a Scilab workspace saved from another version of Scilab 6 (due 
to the bug 16781 <https://bugzilla.scilab.org/16781>).
Indeed, the saved workspace includes SCIHOME, and in Scilab 6 load() 
wrongly overwrites protected variables like SCIHOME.
