2. Core dump in the "waitbar" function. Calling this function with any arguments I tried resulted in a core dump. Based on my knowledge of the code (which I wrote) when the function is called from a smart terminal, it tries to get information about the terminal and use fancy escape sequences to produce a reverse-video progress bar across the terminal. If these features are unavailable, it defaults to a simpler version of the function thatshould work in more different environments. I don't know exactly what iscausing the problem, but it may be possible to get the simplified version of the function to work by overriding the settings that are detected by configure. -QuentinI would like Paul's comment on this. I would like to do a new cygwinoctave-forge release soon (when the archive is in a releasable state), but Idon't know if this problem will be addressed.
Try compiling it without -DUSE_TERM to see if it crashes. It should be easy enough to force USE_TERM to be false for cygwin. - Paul ------------------------------------------------------------- Octave is freely available under the terms of the GNU GPL.
