I've not had problems like this, but I don't use Octave under Windows
NT/95 very much (just enough to see that it runs).

The save function doesn't support structs yet, so that's the reason
you're seeing the warning.

FWIW, I've been using a copy of egcs-1.0.2 that I built myself to
cross-compile Octave on a Linux system.
