I noticed that "sombrero" was failing for me by causing Octave to exit
with a segfault. Bisecting shows this changeset as the first bad one:

summary: Build JIT compiler by default, but do not enable it by
default.
I don't understand how this could cause trouble for plotting,
especially if it the jit compiler is disabled by default.
Is anyone else able to reproduce this problem, or is it just me?
If I install and run octave-gui directly under gdb, I get the
following traceback. Note that it appears to be crashing in LLVM.
If LLVM is disabled, that really shouldn't be happening, should it?
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
