as an argument

Package: octave2.1
Version: 2.1.64-1
Severity: normal
strftime crashes when given an incomplete structure as input. The
following will crash octave 2.1:
-- Begin Script
tm.year = 2000;
tm.mon = 1;
tm.day = 1;
strftime("%Y%m%d", tm)
-- End Script
The crash looks like this on my system (I named this script
"octavebug"):
-- Begin Error
octave:1> octavebug
panic: Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to `octave-core'...
save to `octave-core' complete
Segmentation fault
-- End Error
I'll attach the octave-core file that it created.
Bill
