Details:

I often put octave jobs in the background and then disconnect the ssh session.
This used to work fine.

Since a few weeks, e.g. with the current dev version, this no longer works.
For example, when starting the script


# foo.m
while true
pause(2) ;
strftime("%T", localtime(time))
endwhile


via

%> nohup octave --no-gui -f foo.m &

and then disconnect and reconnect the ssh session, octave has died on the
remote machine. With more complicated scripts, I even get a segfault.
