[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#497818: octave-ftp: crashes after "clear all"

[Francesco Potorti`]

Package: octave-ftp
Version: 1.0-1
Severity: normal

$ octave -fq
octave:1> version
ans = 3.0.1
octave:2> pkg load ftp
octave:3> clear all
panic: Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to `octave-core'...
save to `octave-core' complete
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This happens only for the ftp package (I tried them all).
No idea whether this is an upstream or a build problem.

By the way, what if I simply Cc: to <bug-octave at octave.org> when sending
bug reports to Debian?
