[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56097] Freezing of command window after help sin or doc win

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #56097 (project octave):

Well, this is progress.  Try this now.


dbstop __makeinfo__
help sin
# Now in debugger in __makeinfo__.m
dbnext


Do the same thing as before and step through the file to find the line which
causes a problem.  My guess is that it will be line 141 where Octave calls out
to the external makeinfo program.


    [status, retval] = system (cmd);


If this is the problem area then you can look at the cmd and try executing it
yourself in a shell.
