Octave often crashes unexpectedly

[Maximilian Bryan]

Hi,

I am running octave 3.8.2 on Debian Wheezy x64. I have a long running 
script, which contains a for loop in which I am doing some calculations, 
calculate an error and then start over. Often my script runs for one or 
two hours and then crashes (it saves the current progress to a file 
called octave-workspace).
It is hard to reproduce that error, since my script mostly is in that 
loop and at some point crashes in that loop. What can I do to find out 
what the problem is?

Thanks
