Your example does not trigger a crash, of course. But OpenJDK is ran from an Oct-file, and I guess it bypasses some sanity checks and cleanups done by Octave. Then the sscanf() function used from the Octave parser becomes unable to parse "0.1". -- Sébastien Villemot Researcher in Economics & Debian Maintainer http://www.dynare.org/sebastien Phone: +33-1-40-77-84-04 - GPG Key: 4096R/381A7594
