John, this command links gdb to the worker thread, right? Is there a
possibility to get the gui's pid from within octave? 

in Windows, starting the GUI creates two processes 

- Console Window Host (conhost.exe)

- octave-gui.exe 

the getpid() command does return the pid of octave-gui.exe.

running John's command, however, does lock the main octave program until you quit from adb, though, so i'm not sure if there's another way to call it that it will catch an exception that crashes octave.
