Update of bug #55577 (project octave):

                  Status:            Works For Me => Need Info

Follow-up Comment #3:

Can someone with access to Matlab verify whether a single precision value is
acceptable as a file descriptor to the textscan function?


fname = tempname();
fid = fopen(fname);
c = textscan(single(fid), '%s');


If not, then we should probably make the input validation stricter again and
keep the test, and probably reduce the numbers back to 4 instead of 40. My
guess is whoever worked on the translation from m-file to C++ didn't
understand what these input validation tests were testing for.

It it is acceptable, then we should keep the code as it is and delete the
test.
