Of course.  In http://www.octave.org/bugs.html, under the section
"Have You Found a Bug?", the first item in the list of guidelines
about how to decide if you have found a bug:

  * If Octave gets a fatal signal, for any input whatever, that is a
    bug.  Reliable interpreters never crash.

The question now is, is this a bug in Octave itself, or in the
delaunayn function from octave-forge that is dynamically linked to
Octave when you call the delaunay function, or qhull, or something
else?
