MY Windows has the which command :-)
C:\Users\windhoal>which sh.exe
c:\usr\bin\sh.exe

C:\Users\windhoal>sh
MKTLT-9GMNSQ2# exit

C:\Users\windhoal>

No idea what shell that is.
Path is the same, Octave 4.4.1 but not Octave 5.1.0.
I renamed sh.exe and changed the path to add Octave 5.1.0,
but no improvement:

>> system("sh")
sh-4.4$ ls -lag
Segmentation fault
sh-4.4$

This is the shell in Octave-5.1.0.0\usr\bin\.
So the problem is definitely related to sh.
