Follow-up Comment #3:

I see, thanks for the details. It looks like the control package was patched
for Windows. This patch introduces some development changes that haven't been
completed yet.

I will repurpose this bug report to get the attention of the Windows packagers
who introduced this bug in release candidate.

Markus, John D - please take a look at the of-control patch file, which
introduces some in-development changes to the control package that are not
fully tested and introduce regressions. This patch should not be part of the
Octave 5.1 Windows distribution.

I'll file a separate report to track fixing the nfields2 bug in the control
package development branch.
