Sorry for late reply.

I understand the situation.
I rebuild octave-4.2.1 for windows with large arrays with 
--enable-fortran-int64 for mxe-octave.

This time __run_test_suite__ works with out hang. (3 FAIL exist, tolerance and 
round off? issue?)

Thanks for detailed and comprehensive explanation.
