[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50880] octave-gui segfault after completion of welcome wizard initialization

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #50880 (project octave):

Yeah that makes sense.

I managed to bisect this specific error to one of the following two related
changes (the first one doesn't compile for me):

https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/af48d8be62b3
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/252975fdc444

The second of these changesets moved the call to install_defaults from
octave::application::init() octave::interpreter::interpreter(). So it occurs
later in the startup sequence now, after the application object has been
initialized but before the interpreter is started. Meanwhile the GUI
application is setting itself up and accessing some of these global parameters
that haven't been initialized yet.
