[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#408992: octave2.9: Plot with convert sometimes doesn't work (race condition?)

Package: octave2.9
Version: 2.9.9-6
Severity: normal

With the following script: (I don't think the details are important)

clear
x = randn(65536, 1);
x = x / max(abs(x));
XR = 20*log10(abs(fft(2*hanning(65536).*x(1:65536), 65536)));
XP = 20*log10(abs(fft(2*hanning(65536).*x(1:65536), 65536)));
XS = 20*log10(abs(fft(2*hanning(65536).*x(1:65536), 65536)));
w = [0:65535]/65536 * 44100;
plot(w, XR, w, XP, w, XS)
hold on
axis([0 22050 -100 80])
text(5000, -50, '4 kHz: Upper Limit of Data');
legend('Rabbit','Polyphase','Resample')
plot([4000 4000], [-100 80], 'g')
plot([44100 - 4000 44100 - 4000], [-100 80], 'g');
title('Rate Convert From 8 kHz to 44.1 kHz Of Random Noise');
ylabel('Magnitude of Spectrum in dB')
xlabel('Frequency in kHz');
xlabel('Frequency in Hz');
hold off
print RandomNoiseUpsample.ppm

I usually (but not always) get this error:

error: Did not find ppm
error: evaluating if command near line 90, column 5
error: evaluating if command near line 88, column 3
error: evaluating for command near line 76, column 1
error: called from `cellidx' in file `/usr/share/octave/2.9.9/m/control/system/cellidx.m'
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 206, column 7
error: called from `print' in file `/usr/share/octave/2.9.9/m/plot/print.m'
error: near line 20 of file `foo.m'

If I don't involve convert (because I ask for .pbm output) I never get
the error.
