When using octave in Windows Vista with a fresh install of Cygwin 1.7.5, executing the image function causes octave to crash immediately and produce a dump. On the same machine, after being told by someone that the problem wasn't present when they ran Cygwin on their Windows XP system, I installed Cygwin on Windows XP x86 inside of a VirtualBox and upon executing octave and trying the image function, there was no crash.
I am using Windows Vista x86 on an AMD Turion 64x2 processor. An output from one of the terminals in which I tried executing octave can be found at http://pastebin.com/m7SS1MwV . Aside from a fresh installation, I also copied my Cygwin installation to the virtual machine and the image function ran without producing any crashes. # Contents of stackdump: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at eip=610202F7 eax=01363188 ebx=61228FE4 ecx=7690B363 edx=00B2E950 esi=00000000 edi=0022F9FC ebp=61020A10 esp=0022C7CC program=C:\Cygwin\bin\octave-3.2.4.exe, pid 872, thread main cs=001B ds=0023 es=0023 fs=003B gs=0000 ss=0023 Stack trace: Frame Function Args End of stack trace -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
