[KrisThielemans]

The following 2 tests fail with Octave after #96 (but are fine with MATLAB)

• 'multi_import.multicpptest

   multi_import_runme at line 6 column 3
  ERROR: multi_import_aMEX: Cannot allocate pointer
  

• template_typedef_import.multicpptest

    template_typedef_import_runme at line 6 column 3
    ERROR: template_typedef_cplx2MEX: Cannot allocate pointer
