[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #1:

Does this have to do with directory timestamps on your filesystem?

There was a similar bug about m-files in the root directory of a network drive
or a thumbdrive or something like that.

Octave expects the modification timestamp of the directory containing the
newly created m-file to be updated. Can you see what's going on with this
example?


>> format long
>> stat (pwd ()).mtime
## create new m-file
## verify new m-file exists and which fails
>> stat (pwd ()).mtime
## is there a way to force mtime update in windows? touch cmd?
