Only five? I figured there would be more. There must be several others 
in the Help ML as well.
A little problem is that currently it isn't possible (at least, I 
haven't found out how) to filter bugs on "Operating system". It seems to 
be the one missing selector....

Also, searching for "Windows" or "MinGW" always gives me loads of hits 
outside Octave's bug tracker (i.e., other projects). Must be my 
ignorance again ;-(

I've done a little hunt (but I'll have to switch to other issues now): 
35769, 34822, 37231, 36144 (-supposedly).
Which 5 did you find?
