Agreed.

This is the one I installed:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave%20Windows%20binaries/Octave%203.6.4%20for%20Windows%20MinGW%20installer/> Perhaps one windows complied version has a problem the other doesn't, which would be worth identifying.
I have located a Visual Studio binary distro for Windows, and will install and try it. Although if there truly is a bug in the MinGW Windows binary distro, I would have thought it would be well-known.
