[Philip Nienhuis]

Update of bug #36076 (project octave):

                Severity:              3 - Normal => 2 - Minor

Follow-up Comment #7:

Ben, I'm not sure:

1- I hit the very same bug with Octave > 3.4.0 on Windows
2- There's something fishy about the "automagical" solution (BTW Jordi has
made some nice comments on this type of metaphysical software adaptation
issues)
3- I don't know if it really is __print_parse_opts__.m, subfunc
__ghostscript_binary__ where the actual error occurs. I only found the error
msg there, but at the time I didn't dig very hard.

So, my suggestion is to wait until a new Windows binary comes up (3.6.2) and
see if this bug still occurs again with it.

As there is an "outside workaround" (bottom of comment #1) I've lowered the
priority a bit.

P.
