Re: Octave 3.6.0 on Windows XP plot fails.

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello 

Can you try the below test and report results?
If octave crash by this test, the problem may come from the combination the 
libblas.dll and the Athlon. 

m=10000;
n=32;
temp=randn(m,n)+i*randn(m,n);
b=temp'*temp;

BTW,  address@hidden should not be used as JWE has posted.
http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/THIS-MAILING-LIST-IS-NOT-ACTIVE-PLEASE-DO-NOT-USE-IT-td4390512.html

Therefore I have changed this post to address@hidden

Regards

Tatsuro
