As the commands issued by the OP work on my box (also WinXP SP3 w Octave-3.6.1 MinGW), and I'm very suspicious that this is in fact a duplicate of bug #35769, I'll close this bug with "works for me".

To repeat from bug #35769,
"
It can always be reopened if you report that your example code crashes with all 9 (nine) libblas.dll versions in /bin in the latest octave-3.6.1-MinGW drop.

Please have a look at bug #35769.

This could again be related to an incompatible (with your HW) libblas.dll included in the MinGW "installer".
The effects manifest itself in many completely unexpected situations.

Please report back after having tried all libblas.dll versions in the 7z archive (unpacked in <octave install dir>/bin/
For more info see the readme about libblas.dll which should be in the 7z archive.

Oh, additionally, how are you running Octave without the command line? If you're using GUI Octave, please note that we did not make it ourselves and do not endorse it. Its author will not share its source code, so we have no way of fixing it nor even knowing what it's doing.

I'm sorry about the user experience. It cannot improve without your help. Please help us improve it.

Have you confirmed that this is a problem with gnuplot? I believe by default the Windows version of Octave you're using uses fltk by default. If Octave crashes after a while, it's probably because it periodically runs _fltk_redraw_. Can you try without this?

When Octave first loads, switch to gnuplot with the following command:

Do you still see a problem?

Heared, that octave may replace Matlab. Thus I just downloaded and unziped Octave3.6.1_gcc4.6.2_20120303.7z to d:\octave and started using the link.

Tried to test Octave with
which crashed after some time without showing any error. (Great user experience, btw.)

When starting octave.exe from the command line I get

I'm trying running octave on a Windows XP SP3 in a corporate environment.

Best regards
