I am able to reproduce this. I'd open an issue. The failure is somewhere in the call to `jl_init`. You can try to link against libjulia-debug.dll and step through it with gdb to drill down further. I might do the same if I get the chance.
> I have been able to verify, though, that `jlcall`, my embedding in matlab, is working against 0.4 on windows.
