This is a known problem. This problem is usually due to internal octave types defined in oct-file: when the oct-file gets unloaded (due to "clear" call), some C++ objects might get their virtual table pointing to garbage memory. This typically happen when there exist some global variables of that internal octave type. Examples of such usage are the package that are based on SWIG: database, ftp and ann. Check if those packages are loaded using "pkg list". To confirm this explanation, try to do a "clear global" first.
