Subj: most recent xfig-3.2.5b-2 broken.

Hi Marco,

     I ran strace on the octave-3.6.1.exe and
got an empty message file.  However, that strace
terminated with a WinXP error alert box that
said:

octav-3.6.1.exe - Unable to locate component
[
[ This application has failed to start because
[ D:\Program Files\AlwilSoftware\Avast\snxhk.dll
[ was not found.  Re-installing the application
[ may fix this problem.
[

I guess that something is seriously screwed-up if
my octave is trying to access a .dll from my
antivirus program.  I did install a program
upgrade from Avast on Friday.  It seems to be
a bit more intrusive than the previous versions.
However, my upgrade to octave-3.6.1 did not occur
until this morning.
