    _______________________________________________________

Details:

This crash behavior only happens on Windows. I used the mxe version 3.8.1-1.

Here is one way to reproduce the crash. Just run the following script under
Windows:

clear all;
myimg = imread('dummy.jpg');
clear all;


The content of "dummy.jpg" is not relevant, but I'll attach my sample image
anyways.

This crash happens only under Windows, not under Linux.

This crash happens in the GUI version as well as in the terminal version of
Octave.

I very commen variant to provoke this bug is:
* run any script that contains a imread command
* run it a second time
* crash!

(It happend under an up to date Windows 7 for me.)
