[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#738672: --force-gui first segfaults and then seems to not start (at least I can't see it)

Package: octave
Version: 3.8.0-2
Severity: important

Decided to give a glorious beast (octave gui) a try, installed from
experimental (the base system is a mix of jessie/sid), running awesome
window-manager under XFCE4.

upon initial start, the welcome wizard came alone, I allowed to fetch help from
online, and then kaboom:

$> octave --force-gui
*** Error in `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/octave/3.8.0/exec/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/octave-gui': corrupted double-linked list: 0x00007efef0257bd0 ***

so I installed octave-dbg and decided to get more insights, but starting it
again results in no window/interpreter.  Here are the backtraces from both the
original octave process and presumably gui process:
