octave parallel segment faults

I am using octave 4.4.1 on mac OS 10.13.6, installed using Homewbrew (octave
version 4.4.1_4).  It is installed for cli (non-gui).
------
brew info octave
octave: stable 4.4.1 (bottled), HEAD

In parallel package 3.1.3, I see the following seg fault:

octave:20>out=pararrayfun(nproc,@(jj)
par_test2(4097),1:4,"uniformoutput",false);
parcellfun: 0/4 jobs donefatal: caught signal Segmentation fault: 11 --
stopping myself...
fatal: caught signal Segmentation fault: 11 -- stopping myself...
fatal: caught signal Segmentation fault: 11 -- stopping myself...
parcellfun: 0/4 jobs donefatal: caught signal Segmentation fault: 11 --
stopping myself...
warning: parcellfun: premature exit due to closed pipe
warning: called from
    parcellfun at line 350 column 11
    pararrayfun at line 85 column 26

warning: broken pipe
warning: broken pipe

warning: broken pipe

----------------
function err=par_test2(in1)
%
%    Test this using pararrayfun(nproc,@(jj)
par_test2(in1),1:4,"uniformoutput",false); 
a=randn(in1,2);
b=randn(2,1);
r1=a(1:in1,1)*b(1)+a(1:in1,2)*b(2);
%  does not work for in1 =4097, works for in1=4096
  r2=a*b;
err=norm(r1-r2);
endfunction
---
It works by itself:

octave:21>par_test2(4097)
ans = 0
----
It works with dimension of 4096
octave:23> out=pararrayfun(nproc,@(jj)
par_test2(4096),1:4,"uniformoutput",false);
parcellfun: 4/4 jobs done

The dimension limit for seg faults is platform dependent, higher for another
newer Mac.  It seems that this problem is unique to matrix multiplication,
though I have not tested it sufficiently.  

Any clues?  

I see [bug #49532]  but no resolution.
