Cygwin Octave / Octave Forge image functions

[James Eric Pruitt <eric dot pruitt at gmail dot com>]

Whenever I use any of the image functions in Octave, it begins to spew 
out a bunch of exceptions. I have an X server running and the DISPLAY 
environment variable set but it doesn't make a difference. Sample output 
can be found at http://pastebin.com/m7SS1MwV but here is the stack dump 
and en excerpt from the output (Note, I'm running Cygwin 1.7.5 on Windows
Vista x86):

# Dump output
