Details:

I'm seeing a sporadic segfault when Octave's GUI starts up.

The attached contains a gdb backtrace of the two threads showing that they are
both in initialization routines.

I got this by running the following shell loop:


rm -f core
ulimit -c unlimited
while ! [ -f core ]; do
  ./run-octave -qfH /dev/null
done


Runs for a few minutes before a segfault occurs.

I'll try messing with my environment to make sure it's not something about my
configuration causing this.

This is what leads to a segfault when building doc/interpreter for me
occasionally. I don't see the crash at all with octave-cli.
