Follow-up Comment #19, bug #41067 (project octave): When Octave starts, it uses curl to fetch the Octave Community News page from octave.org. I presume that it is failing when the url_transfer class can't instantiate a curl_transfer object and instead creates a base_url_transfer object (I think I have the names right). We are probably missing a check to ensure that the url_transfer object is OK before attempting to use it. Even so, it should not crash. There should be some kind of error or simply a failure to retrieve anything from the URL instead of crashing. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?41067> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
