This (edit.m issue) already happened in Tatsuro's 3.3.90 MingW binary.

(I didn't bother at the time to report that (perhaps I should have), 
mostly because I couldn't do much with that binary anyway. It couldn't 
install octave-forge packages that I need in my daily work; testing in 
real life situation always reveals the most bugs.)
