John,
if I correctly understood how weekday() is 
implemented in octave,  
assert(weekday('19-Dec-1994'),2) 
is failing in cygwin because

weekday calls strptime, implemented in oct_strptime
as wrapper of system strptime, expecting
to receive a valid tm_wday.

As newlib strptime, used in cygwin, does not set
tm_wday when format does not include %a or %A
weekday is failing and for every day the output is 0.

I have the feeling that strptime is potentially
implemented locally, but it is unclear to me
how to use it instead of the system version,
at least on cygwin.

Regards
Marco
