Re: Fwd: octave updated to 3.4.0-3. Please test (strcat error)

["Jeffrey Kletsky" <jkletsky@guidewire.com>]

This is a problem on Windows 7 Enterprise, 64-bit; cygwin 1.7.9-1; octave 3.4.0-3

Reinstalling Octave does not resolve
rebaseall does not resolve

Any suggestions on how to resolve?

TIA,

Jeff
