This is a bug in the octave-forge/extra/Windows/image.m function.

It does not work with the --traditional switch, which is part of many
octave-for-windows startup scripts.

So,
$ octave --traditional -q
 >> image;
parse error near line 70 of file /usr/share/octave/2.1.36/m/image/image.m
 >>>   bmp_name = [tmpnam () , ".bmp"];
                           ^
 >> exit

andy at ANALYTI1 ~
$ octave -q
octave:1> image;
octave:2> exit

I have just fixed it in the octave-forge CVS.
