[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #36211] bug: crashes and endless loops

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #36211 (project octave):

Ping - any opinions on how we should resolve this one?

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1156575

I believe this Ubuntu bug report is the same underlying bug, that DLASCL
aborts on bad arguments. This one has two interesting differences though:

1) XERBLA in LAPACK is being called, not XERBLA in libcruft, at least
according to my gdb, any ideas on what is going wrong there?

2) The JVM has been loaded, so when XERBLA calls STOP, Octave's atexit
handlers fire, and something in calling the java_exit routine causes Octave to
segfault.

If I prevent the Java package from loading, Octave simply exits instead of
showing the "exception encountered in Fortran" message, confirming that the
wrong copy of XERBLA is called. Still a bad outcome.
