Looking at the code for oregonator.cc, I see that it takes only one
input argument. And since it is a simple example it does not check if
you supplied the right number of input arguments. If you supply the
wrong number you will get a segmentation fault.

So try "oregonator ([1,2,3])".

(Why does oregonator.m take two input arguments? Only the first on is used.)
