[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63803] Saving causes OOM, crash, and loss of already saved data

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #33, bug #63803 (project octave):

The following also fails with the same error on Windows:

>> fid = fopen('file1', 'w'); fclose(fid);
>> fid = fopen('file2', 'w'); fclose(fid);
>> rename('file1', 'file2')
error: rename: operation failed: File exists


But the following succeeds:

>> fid = fopen('file1', 'w'); fclose(fid);
>> fid = fopen('file2', 'w'); fclose(fid);
>> movefile('file1', 'file2')
>>


I haven't checked on Linux.
Does `rename` succeed or fail when the target file already exists on that
platform?
