Details:

I have recorded a sample of roughly 3000 elements in a vector. This crashes my
application almost everytime.

After realising that it was my large matrix that in textform is 16KB, I
commented out the line and the application still crashed.

While the line is still fully commented using '%', when I try to open the file
through the "File Browser" in the GUI, it displays an error

">> error: load: failed to read matrix from file 'C:/Octave/Saves/test2.m'"

and the file doesn't open. Following this I tried it again and it works, but
when I run the application it just crashes immediately again.

Attached is the script with the single commented line that crashes the
application.

I am running Windows 10 on my 2013 Lenovo T430.

Crash caused in Octave 4.0.0 configured for "i686-w64-mingw32"
