Details:

Hello,

During compilation on a fresh x86_64 i7 environment, I am consistently getting
a segmentation fault, always at the same point:

  GEN      doc/interpreter/plot-axesproperties.texi
fatal: caught signal Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...
/bin/sh: line 1: 23107 Segmentation fault      /bin/sh run-octave --norc
--silent --no-history --path ../doc/interpreter --eval "genpropdoc ('axes');"
> doc/interpreter/plot-axesproperties.texi-t
make[2]: *** [Makefile:30949: doc/interpreter/plot-axesproperties.texi] Error
139
make[2]: Leaving directory '/tmp/SBo/octave-hg/.build'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:27397: all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/SBo/octave-hg/.build'
make: *** [Makefile:11030: all] Error 2

I can reproduce the crash by running manually the faulty line from the .build
directory:

/bin/sh run-octave --norc --silent --no-history --path ../doc/interpreter
--eval "genpropdoc ('axes');"

The same happens on a 32-bit environment (under VritualBox), but at a later
line.
I tried different snapshots that I keep and the exact line they crash varies,
but it is allways with some --eval "genpropdoc('something');".
Sometimes, running the crashing line manually several times can give a
successful run or a crash, randomly.

Any idea?

I have attached the config report for x86_64.
