[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57591] Segmentation faults when running the test suite

[Markus Mützel]

Update of bug #57591 (project octave):

                  Status:               Confirmed => Ready For Test

Follow-up Comment #174:

I pushed a change to stable that might fix a possible issue with the lifetime
of a temporary variable in mgorth:
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/4f8284dee449

Maybe that fixes the intermittent crashes during the tests of
`sparse/gmres.m`.

The scope of temporary variables is sometimes hard to predict (at least for
me). And I'm not sure if this really was an issue. But the syntax looked
slightly suspicious.
Imho, it is often easier (and cleaner) to use an explicit variable (with
defined scope) to avoid potential lifetime issues.

Let's see if this makes a difference at all.
Marking as ready for test (again).
