[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58004] [octave forge] (io) xmlread.m makes Octave crash

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #24, bug #58004 (project octave):

This is a weird one, for sure.

On my Debian system using a current build of the stable branch, I can generate
a segfault with the following script (no io package needed, so I doubt that is
the source of the problem):


usejava ("jvm");
javaaddpath ("/usr/share/java/xercesImpl.jar")
figure ();
line ();
print ('line.svg');

for i = 1:100000
  i
  parser = javaObject ("org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser");
end


I usually see a crash for me well before 5,000 trips through the loop.

If I comment out the call to the print function, then it runs through all
100,000 trips through the loop.  Executing the script repeatedly also works.

Note that we don't even have to parse a file, just create the parse object!

And somehow it is interacting with the print function?  What?!

Can anyone else duplicate this result?
