[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #38175] 3.6.4rc1 doesn't build with gfortran from gcc 4.7, script never exits after segfault

[John Marino]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #38175 (project octave):

"I very much don't see this. Are you sure it's genuinely hanging or is Octave
just taking a long time to save the workspace? Do you see any CPU activity?
(It's not really a core dump, when Octave crashes, it tries to save the
current workspace.) Furthermore, run-octave is a very simple bash script for
running Octave in the build dir, you can read it yourself. This should not be
the source of trouble with the build hanging."

To address this closer:
1. long time?  How long is long?  is 30 minutes normal?  An hour?  I've seen
this package locked at least that long.

2. CPU activity?  CPU is at 97%+ without change until it  is killed

How big can the workspace be during this build step?  Yes, I assume 30 - 60
minutes more than enough time to save its workspace.
