Follow-up Comment #30:

I used gdb to step through the code.  The hang is happening in
libgui/src/octave-qt-link.cc.  The code is below


void octave_qt_link::do_file_remove (const std::string& old_name,
                                     const std::string& new_name)
{
  // Lock the mutex before signaling
  lock ();

  // Emit the signal for the editor for closing the file if it is open
  emit file_remove_signal (QString::fromStdString (old_name),
                           QString::fromStdString (new_name));

  // Wait for the GUI and unlock when resumed
  wait ();
  unlock ();
}


The code executes up until the call to wait() and then hangs.  I don't know
enough about how signals operate in the GUI to say any more.
