Details:

OS environment: Windows 7 / Cygwin/X

Problem:

1) Cygwin/X enviroment: start octave from command line in XTerm with "octave"
+ enter

2) dialog "You seem to use Octave for the first time" shows up

3) click "next", "next" and "finish" buttons

4) Octave crashes, exits with signal 11

Workaround: 

Manually create "octave" directory in ~/.config directory with "mkdir octave"
+ enter

=> Problem solved, octave starts up normally
