| Bug report for Octave 2.0.5 configured for i586-pc-linux-gnu
| 
| Description:
| -----------
| 
| I have several times gotten Octave to crash with built-in help.
| 
| Repeat-By:
| ---------
| 
| Easiest way was
| help
| q (which gives a warning about broken pipe to pager -- fine with me)
| help (which segfaults)

I think this problem was fixed after 2.0.5 was released.  2.0.9 is the
latest released version.  Can you please try using that and see if you
still have the same problem?

Thanks,
