Follow-up Comment #3:

Hello,

no problem with the truncated first message and thank you for your verbose
error report. I was able to track the problem. It all boils down to


octave:1> nan(2,1)\nan(2,1)
 ** On entry to DLASCL parameter number  4 had an illegal value


This also crashes my Windows Octave 3.8.2 GUI, but on the development version
under Linux there is only this error message without a crash. If you run this
statement in Windows Octave 3.8.2 in the CLI you will see this error message
as well. To sum up this problem seems to be fixed in the next release.

For now I provided a fix around this issue in your function smap.m in line
42-47 (see attached files). I don't think the script you wrote is totally bug
free anyway. But at least you can continue without a hard crash.

Can you tell me that this work around works for you. And does some maintainer
know if this issue has already been addressed before to close this bug?

HTH, Kai
