Follow-up Comment #2:

Works on MinGW (MXE)3.7.7+ :


>> [fname fpath] = uigetfile ();
>> sin (3)
ans =  0.14112
>> g = 4 /8
g =  0.50000
>> clear all
>> g = 4 /3
g =  1.3333
>> cos (9)
ans = -0.91113
>> [fname fpath] = uigetfile ();
>> g
g =  1.3333
>>


I rather think (but the OP's report isn't clear) that he hit the notorious but
somewhat elusive "clear all" bug (which segfaults many MinGW-Octave 3.x.x
versions).
This bug has nothing to do with uigetfile() directly, and is believed to be
related to a.o., the ad and some other OF packages being loaded.
Search google for 'Octave "clear all" mingw'

If in the OP's sequence "clear all" is replaced by just "clear" it all works
OK on Octave-3.6.4 for MinGW.

As it works on MinGW Octave 3.7.7+ I'll close this bug with status "fixed".
