That would explain everything if it were true, Miroslaw -- but it 
doesn't seem to be true.

For example, if I exit my main script with the "error" function 
before it gets into heavy computation and give the "who" command, I 
see two currently compiled functions, "columns" and "rows", and 34 
local user variables. When I execute "clear all" and ask "who" again, 
there are no currently compiled function and no local user variables. 
The "clear all" command has cleared out everything.

BTW, in this situation, when I execute before heavy computation, I 
get no segmentation-fault message on quitting octave.

When I execute "who", "clear all", and "who" again after running the 
full script,
    8 dynamically linked functions
   18 currently compiled functions
   68 local user variables
disappear. "clear all" again seems to be clearing everything. But now 
it causes a segmentation fault when I quit octave (but not before).

Regards,

Vic
