(i) Does it happen with a specific .mat file only, or with all files? If 
a specific file, it would be useful if you can put it available somewhere.

(ii) How did you install Scipy 0.8.0 (which binaries?)

(iii) Try running the test suite,

>>> import scipy.io
>>> scipy.io.test("full", verbose=2, extra_argv=["--exe"])

Does it pass?
