Hello,

I took a look at the files you sent (hold1*.geo). I managed to mesh
hold1.geo by setting a smaller characteristic length (0.08) for all
points, except for the 8 forming the exterior cube. Could you send me
your latest hold1.geo and hold2.geo (I didn't receive this one) with the
volumes defined? 

(You really shouldn't use the Windows version. It isn't distributed
anymore, and my collegue does not plan to release patched versions for
the moment.)
