  Not sure - it was a while ago.The binaries are timestamped
2014-09-04 20:15 and I downloaded the installer from the official
site. I am pretty sure I redownloaded to get the second iteration of
3.8.2 when it appeared.

Regarding controlling the number of threads used by blas and lapack:
-  I have looked for references to OMP_NUM_THREADS in documentation
and found nothing.
-  I have tried setting OMP_NUM_THREADS environment variable inside or
outside octave to no effect.
Have mechanisms for controlling the number of threads used by openMP
been changed somewhere in Octave lapack blas and openMP?
