#24860 closed defect (fixed)

'quit' and 'exit' do not work well for octave

Reported by: qchen3@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.8.2
Keywords: Cc: glen.henshaw@…
Port: octave

Description

I found it is always painful to quit or exit octave, current 3.2.4, as well as 3.2.3. Up quitting or exiting, it will give me the following messages: * octave:1> quit

panic: Segmentation fault -- stopping myself... attempting to save variables to `octave-core'... save to `octave-core' complete Segmentation fault *

Ctr-D, quit, exit behave the same way, that is, give me the same error messages.

This issue appears to be related to certain octave packages having been installed; see ticket #26340

I am finding the same problem. Please find attached a complete trace of

octave --debug

where I simply exit as soon as the prompt becomes available. I'm also attaching the core dump it generates. Any idea whether a fix is likely? It's not a deadly problem, since we can build bash scripts around it, but the problem is that it is then difficult to distinguish these spurious crashes from real ones.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

If this is still really an issue ... please do:

sudo port selfupdate

and then try installing it again. Should be fixed with r114034.
