[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60620] [octave forge] (optim) 'expfit' function from optim-1.6.1 package terminates with segmentation fault

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #15, bug #60620 (project octave):

I can reproduce this in a Ubuntu 18.04 virtual machine with the stock
installed Octave 4.2.2 and the optim package installed from Forge.

The segmentation fault appears to arise only when the Java runtime is loaded
into Octave.

This works just fine:


addpath ~/octave/optim-1.6.1
expfit (512, 0, 1, rand (1, 1024))


But this is enough to reproduce the segmentation fault:


addpath ~/octave/optim-1.6.1
version -java
expfit (512, 0, 1, rand (1, 1024))


IIRC there have been problems reported before about memory problems when Java
has been loaded.
