It looks to me like a problem in your ATLAS installation. I have ATLAS
3.6.0 installed and I don't get a crash. I however get the error...

octave:10> gamrnd(rand(100,1),rand(100,1))
error: A(I) = X: X must be a scalar or a vector with same length as I
error: assignment failed, or no method for `matrix = matrix'
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 94, column 14
error: evaluating if command near line 93, column 5
error: evaluating if command near line 81, column 3
error: called from `gamrnd' in file
`/usr/share/octave/2.9.12/m/statistics/distributions/gamrnd.m'
