Re: Octave 3.6.0 on Windows XP plot fails.

[Kurt M. Sanger]

Tatsuro;

We fail badly after the last line.

We obtain an error message:
octave.exe - Application Error
The instruction at "0x7c9101b3" referenced memory at "0x66b36406".  The 
memory could not be "written".

Octave shows:
assertion SetTrheadAffinityMask(thr->thrH, (1<<proc)) failed, line 18 of 
file 
/cygdrive/d/usr/Tatsu/cyghome-1.7/atlas/atlas-3.9.19build2/../ATLAS-3.9.19//src/threads/ATL_thread_start.c

Hello

Can you try the below test and report results?
If octave crash by this test, the problem may come from the combination the 
libblas.dll and the Athlon.

m=10000;
n=32;
temp=randn(m,n)+i*randn(m,n);
b=temp'*temp;

BTW,  address@hidden should not be used as JWE has posted.
http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/THIS-MAILING-LIST-IS-NOT-ACTIVE-PLEASE-DO-NOT-USE-IT-td4390512.html

Therefore I have changed this post to address@hidden

Regards

Tatsuro
