on CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.7.9(0.237/5/3) 2011-03-29 10:10 i686 Cygwin

rebaseall caused further problem
---------------------------------------------------------------------
      8 [main] octave-3.4.0 4608 E:\cygwin2\bin\octave-3.4.0.exe: ***
fatal error - cygheap base mismatch detected - 0x61242860/0x6A2860.
This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the cygwin DLL.
Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows Start->Find/Search facility
and delete all but the most recent version.  The most recent version *should*
reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have
installed the cygwin distribution.  Rebooting is also suggested if you
are unable to find another cygwin DLL.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Of course is it possible that what I see on WinXP , broken
communication between octave and gnuplot,
is different from what was sawn on Vista32 and W7/64 (Exception:
STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION)

as octave has a very large number of dll dependency and it execute
also gnuplot, it has a high chance to catch
problems in this area.
