Then please make them there, not here.

I'm closing this bug report.

That is the nature of nasal demons. It is folly to attempt a careful description of nasal demons. Sometimes it segfaults, sometimes it runs out of memory, somtimes it wipes your hard drive, and sometimes it makes demons fly out of your nose.

Dear everybody,

I have to make some comments on bug #35933
I installed today Octave 3.6.1 from the prebulid zip.
As first instruction to test the program I tried the plot instruction, with a very simple plot([1:10]).
I got the message
panic: Segmentation violation -- stopping myself... etc.

I look in the bug tracker, finding bug #35933.
I tried all the libblas dll, both with and witout the instruction
graphics_toolkit gnuplot
with no result (a pain...).

I tried to test gnuplot alone: it works, but Octave still don't.

Before to give up, I decided to test some matrix instruction, expecting to confirm the problems with the libblas.dll. However with the commands
a = rand(30,30); b = inv(a);
I got no errors.

However, magically, after that, the plot works. It works, even if I do it as a fist instruction entering in Octave.

If it is important, I'm running win XP home edition, Vers. 2002, sp.3 processor athlon 64 3400+. At the time I decided to test the matrix instructions, I was probably running the pentium libblas.dll, but now I switched back on the default one, that works anyway.
