I installed one of the buildbot builds (w64 with 32-bit indexing) and 
this is what I see when Octave starts.  The startup message is truncated 
to 14 columns.

Thinking there could be some init file issue, I tried removing the 
~/.config directory with the same results.

Text entered at the command prompt and output from commands are not 
truncated, just the startup message.

Does anyone have an idea about what could cause this?  I've never seen 
this problem before.
 

I first thought (as usual) that it was caused by something in my own
dev-octave or mxe-octave build tree (both are somewhat adapted locally), but
good to know that it is "officially confirmed".

Whatever the cause, it happened between 16 (still good) and 19 November
(truncated), because I have mxe-octave builds of those dates installed here
to check. My cross-builds are always based on the latest default branch.

That's a very handy bracketing.  Looking through the Mercurial log, this cset seems to be the only one directed at windows.
