Is there any way of tracking down what function it is?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is a bug in your version of octave or its support libraries.

No command should be able to crash octave.
One "popular" way to get this type of error is to run the binary

compiled for the "newer" cpu than the one that you have.

ATLAS is one library that gets miscompiled this way quite often.

 

You need to complain to whoever provided you with the

executable distribution.

Note that the latest version is 3.6.4 that was released back in Feb...

Sincerely,

Dmitri.
