This is a follow-up about the core dump problem. It can be triggered
with the following code:

try
  t = 1:10;
  x = 3*t+2;

  plot(t, x);

  keyboard;

catch
  error(__error_text__);
end_try_catch


At the 'debug >' prompt, hit 'Ctrl-C' and octave enters a panic
state. The real program is more complex, and the try-catch block is
there to ensure every opened file descriptor is properly closed, and
every temporary file created during the execution is removed.

Best regards

Pascal Dupuis
