[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#708191: Bug#708191: octave-openmpi-ext will sometimes run successfully, error out or crash

[Brian Woods]

Sorry about the delay, I was on vacation (or as close as a grad student
gets to one).

My system was a stock testing system at the time.  It's a relatively new
install (around a month).  I haven't done anything like install
openmpi/octave from source, install from non-Debian repos etc.  All the
packages were from the Debian testing repo(s).

I installed the version of octave-openmpi-ext from unstable (which also
forced octave to upgrade).  After that, it works consistently.  The
problems seems to be gone.

Thank you for your time.  Is there anything I can do?

Brian

While I haven't test it a lot, it seems to work without erring out or
crashing, out of the 10 or so times I tested it.
