Subject:	XARGS stack fault in Windows 95

While running the shell script to install Octave under Windows 95 using
the Cygnus GNU tools version 19, the following line from the script

    find d:/octave/share/octave/2.0.13/m -type f -print | xargs chmod
0644

caused the script to pause and drop me back into the Windows GUI to a
dialog box saying 'This program has performed an illegal operation....
XARGS caused a stack fault in module KERNAL32.DLL at 0137:bff725c5'

The script seemed to recover reasonable, but I suspect that that line
was not properly executed.
