Details:

Under certain conditions Octave hangs when processing help
commands.  This is a dead hang requiring a kill process
to clear it.

I feel that this should be given high priority before the
coming release.

See the attached file showing the result of running under
gdb.

I thought that this had been reported before, but could not
find it in the bug tracker.
