Octave Instability

[Anthony Michael Agelastos]

Hello,

I do not know if this has been dealt with, or if other people have  
found other workarounds for it, but why is 2.9.9 so unstable? Even a  
simple

octave:1> t=linspace(0,2*pi);y=sin(t);plot(t,y)
panic: Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to `octave-core'...

leads to a seg. fault. Does everyone who uses Octave via MacPorts  
have this issue? Thank you for your input with this.
