This is strange. I cannot reproduce, neither on a different machine running Windows XP nor on the original machine where I experienced the bug. So please, close the ticket :-/

Interesting. I'll investigate on that to find more detailed circumstances when the bug will appear.

Just speculating, but it could be the file system (hard disk = NTFS, thumbdrive = FAT32 (probably?)), some Windows 7 security speciality, access rights, etc.

Also strange that it works for the command line version, but not the GUI version.

Doesn't do it for me - E: is a thumbdrive containing the same structure as in your test:

Pardon, all passages containing D:\ should read as D:\\ or D:\ (backslash has been eaten up by wiki format)

It is not possible in Ocatave 3.8.2 GUI to run a script on a root folder. Example:

Place file "cd_bug.m" both in "D:" and "D:usr"

cd_bug.m script

Octave shell script

command window output

Most notably, everything runs fine in classic Octave (Command Line) mode (not GUI)

Seen on MXE Octave 3.8.2-4 using Windows 7 64 bit
