The error that a user was getting with a 32-bit version was:

  error: memory exhausted or requested size too large for range of
  Octave's index type

As there was no indication that the memory really was exhausted, I
assumed it must be the latter cause, which lead me to the wiki page 

  http://wiki.octave.org/wiki.pl?EnableLargeArrays

Do I just need a 64-bit version without --enable-64?

However, as I am going to recompile Octave from the development sources,
it is probably not worth worring about the segentation fault above
unless it reoccurs.

Cheers
