It's all segmentation faults. Here's an example:

Octave Output:
panic: Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to `octave-core'...
save to `octave-core' complete
/bin/sh: line 1: 29437 Segmentation fault      ../src/octave -f -q -H
-p .:../src//:./../scripts// ./octave.test/while/while-5.m 2>&1

testcase ./octave.test/while/while.exp completed in 1 seconds
