Dear Yasa,

Please ask Octave related questions at our mailing-list
(help@octave.org), it doesn't seem that you have posted anything there
before, right?  Most likely, you are using this [1] tool.  Your
information about the crash a very sparse.

It would be helpful, if you tell us:
- Your operating system
- How did you install Octave?
- A minimal sequence of commands, with as few data as possible
contatined, leading to the crash.
- The error message you see.

Most likely the creators of [1] are the better choice for asking for
help.  But if they do not respond, maybe someone here can help out.

HTH,
Kai
