I suspect your Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit is using more space
than rebaseall and cygwin expects.

After the plot error could you check the octave PID with
ps and attach a copy of

/proc/OCTAVE_PID/maps
file ?


It should give us an idea of unavailable address space on your system
due to the MS system and other programs dll's.
