[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #42450] Octave crashes at startup after upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #42450 (project octave):

Unable to reproduce on Ubuntu 14.04 with octave 3.8.1 installed from the
official repositories.

I can set a breakpoint on pthread_mutex_init and see essentially the same
stack trace that you see, but no segmentation fault occurs for me.

Is there anything obviously unusual about your system versus a clean install
of Ubuntu 14.04? Things like an alternative libc, debug replacement libraries,
resource limitations enforced, AppArmor or SELinux?

The error you are seeing is coming from initializing a pthread mutex when the
liboctave library is loaded, before the program's main() function even
executes.
