Details:

I noticed this bug while testing the patch
http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7482

I get this consistently reproducible crash with the developers branch on OSX.

Let the file 'pippo.m' contain the following:


%!test
%! function p = prova (a)
%!  p = a;
%! endfunction
%! assert (prova (1), 1);


if I run 'test pippo' once everything works fine, but after repeating the
command a few times:


>> for ii=1:10
test pippo
endfor
PASSES 1 out of 1 tests
PASSES 1 out of 1 tests
panic: Bus error -- stopping myself...
