I recall seeing this on Ubuntu as well. Below is from an earlier email by 
Robert Short. I thought Doug had reported this as well. Both are cc'd.

scripts/general/postpad.m .............................. PASS    9/9
 scripts/general/prepad.m ............................... PASS    9/9
 scripts/general/profile.m ..............................profiler.cc:400: void 
profile_data_accumulator::add_current_time(): Assertion `last_time >= 0.0 && 
last_time <= t' failed.
panic: Aborted -- stopping myself...

`/home/rtshort/Mirrored/octave/Sources/octave-full/test'
