OK, I've rebuilt octave-forge, and the crashes appear to be gone. It 
will probably take a few hours before the RPM is officially released and 
can be found on the mirrors. If you want it before then, the file can 
temporarily be found at:
http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/logs//4/412-octave-forge-2005.06.13-7.fc4/i386/octave-forge-2005.06.13-7.fc4.i386.rpm

If you have any other problems with this, let me know.
