panic: Hangup -- stopping myself

[Heber Farnsworth]

I'm having an intermittent problem that I'm trying to track down.  I
have a program that takes a long time to run and I've been running it a
lot lately.  Occasionally the program will stop with a message

panic: Hangup -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to `octave-core'...
save to `octave-core' complete

What kind of problem leads to this kind of message?  Is it an octave
problem or a system problem or what?

Heber
