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

[Dieter Kadelka]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #56097 (project octave):

Hello Rik,
the problem seems to be the command delete and with it unlink.m4
with octave-5.1.0 --nogui
delete('/tmp/octave-help-tBqQGc')
works as expected, but with octave-5.1.0 --gui
octave freezes.

The problem seems to be in line 51 of delete.m:
51:         [err, msg] = unlink (file);

This command freezes octave --gui

Maybe the problem actually is in unlink.m4, lines 46-53
$host_os seems to be not correctly identified.
