Package: octave2.1-headers
Version: 2.1.72-4
Severity: normal
Oct-functions generated by mkoctfile segfault randomly, but very often. For
example, the following innocent-looking function:
-*-*-*-
#include <octave/oct.h>
DEFUN_DLD(uitest, args, , " ")
{
int x = 20;
int y = 20;
return octave_value(Matrix(y,x));
}
-*-*-*-
produces this when ran repeatedly:
octave:1> uitest();
octave:2> uitest();
octave:3> uitest();
octave:4> uitest();
panic: Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to octave-core'...
save to octave-core' complete
Segmentation fault
I can usually make Octave crash by running uitest less than 10 times.
Since I run a mixed system of testing and unstable, I'm rather certain that
the crashes are caused by some kind of library version mismatch which the
dependencies do not take into account. Octave 2.1.69 from sarge does not
crash with the test above.
I would appreciate any ideas on how to get oct-files working again.

Indeed, this seems to be the case. With the octave2.9_2.9.4-8 package in
my up-to-date unstable chroot, the command above works perfectly, no
crashes.
I am therefore closing this bug report. Please, feel free to open it
again if library inconsistencies creep up in unstable.
