dir on Octave 3.2.0 on Vista

Hi,

I tried to do a 'dir' command on Octave 3.2.0 on Vista, but it crashed
(see below). The same thing seems to work on XP. I localized the problem
to the strftime call in dir.m, but didn't have the time to dig into it
any further. Still being new to Octave, I decided to ask here first
before filing a bug report. Is this a known thing, or some stupid
mistake on my side?

Best,
Koen
