Octave works fine, most of the time.  Just a few, seemingly random 
exits.  Nothing in journalctl.  Starting octave with the xterm -e 
command has worked fine for a long time.  Years!

I will try starting an xterm and then start octave manually.  That 
should allow me to see any exit messages.  I don't remember where they 
go when I use xterm -e.  Getting old!
