This is getting curiouser.

I was intrigued that the stackdump file written was not from 'octave' 
per se, but rather 'octave-cli'.  And indeed some further experiments 
shows that

../../inst/usr/bin/octave-cli-5.1.0.exe --norc --silent --no-history -p 
mex ../../src/octave-5.1.0/test/fntests.m ../../src/octave-5.1.0/test

fails, while

../../inst/usr/bin/octave-5.1.0.exe --norc --silent --no-history -p mex 
../../src/octave-5.1.0/test/fntests.m ../../src/octave-5.1.0/test

passes.  I don't see how 'run-octave' would end up running octave-cli, 
though, unless it had been given the option '-cli'.
