| Description:
| -----------
| 
|     The problem is very simple.  Whenever I hit CTRL-C while
|     in Octave, I get the following message followed by a core
|     dump:
| 
|       panic: IOT instruction -- stopping myself...
|       attempting to save variables to `octave-core'...
|       save to `octave-core' complete
| 
|     I have the latest installation of Cygwin and WinXP running
|     on two separate machines, and I get exactly the same results.
| 
| Repeat-By:
| ---------
| 
|     CTRL-C
| 
|     It doesn't seem to matter when I use it (whether for interrupt
|     or not) I get the above results. 

Sorry, I have no idea what is causing this problem.

Can anyone else on the list reproduce this problem and try to debug
it?

Thanks,

jwe
