Follow-up Comment #2, bug #37343 (project octave):

I knmow this is little info, but who knows?  It may trigger something in the
developers' brains.  At least knowing that this happens is better than not
knowing...

As I wrote, it *did* already happen several times, "in unreproducible ways",
as all good memory corruption bugs do.

Anyway, I'll install Debian debugging version and try to run it under gdb.

I attach the program I was running, but I fear this will change little.  There
is a bug in the program.  After I corrected it, Octave did not crash any more,
but I was near the end of development then, so I fear there is no
correlation.

The bug is how I use the variable 'oldw', which I treat like a string while it
is a struct (undocumented, should write a patch for this).

Oh, now that I remember, this uses broadcasting.  Since this is new to Octave,
and Octave had very rarely crashed on me before, I'd suspect the broadcasting
code.

(file #26548)
