I recently added octave to my .twmrc 'Tools' menu via

  "Octave"     	             !"xterm -n Octave  -T Octave  -e octave  &"

so that I could run it in its own window.  The menu entry works as
expected, but entering the following first command at the octave
prompt aborts the session and kills the xterm window.

octave:1> [r,A,B,q] = colloc [4,'left','right']

The following simpler command entries do not have the same effect.

octave:1> a = [1,1,1]
1 1 1 
octave:2> b = 2
2
octave:3> a*b
2 2 2
