Subject: octave immediately seg-faults

Bug report for Octave 2.0.13 configured for i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1

Description:
-----------

I'm quite keen to get octave working on my linux machine, since it
seems like a great program!

However, running octave immediately generates segfaults, with message:

	error: Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...
	error: attempted clean up apparently failed -- aborting...
	Aborted (core dumped)

The debugger indicates:

	gdb) where
	#0  0x4040186a in malloc ()
	#1  0x4045ed88 in __DTOR_END__ ()
	#2  0x4045d6a8 in __morecore ()
	#3  0x55000000 in ?? ()
	Cannot access memory at address 0x26b48d.

I can do further tests if instructed.  Thanks in advance for any help!

Typing

	octave

to the shell is all that's required to reproduce this error.
