Bug report for Octave 1.90 configured for alpha-dec-osf3.2

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

  * If I do:
        [Q, R, P] = qr (0)
        several times under linux or OSF/1 I get:
error: Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to `octave-core'...
save to `octave-core' complete

Repeat-By:
---------

  * Doing the same, but note:
        1) I think you need three return items.
	2) In an m-file with other stuff it's worse.
	3) This could be a general problem with all oct-files!
