Indeed, Octave crashes on amd64 when SHA1 is involved.  However, it 
works on i386:

 octave:2> SHA1(1)
 ans =

   191   139    69    48   216   210    70   221   116   172    83   161    52   113   187   161   121    65   223   247


This difference in behavior between i386 and amd64 is perhaps related to 
the different sizeof(long) in both architectures.

I think that this is not a Debian-specific problem.

Best,

Rafael
