The info at http://www.octave.org/bugs.html includes this:

  If Octave gets a fatal signal, for any input whatever, that is
  a bug.  Reliable interpreters never crash.

If you think you've found a bug, please submit a *complete* bug report
to the address@hidden mailing list.  If you aren't sure what to
include in your report, please read http://www.octave.org/bugs.html
first.
