Details:

The fftw test in my build of Octave fails with signal 6 from the GUI, or as
follows from the CLI:


% run-octave --no-gui
GNU Octave, version 4.2.1
etc.
octave:1> test fftw
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
  what():  basic_string::_S_construct null not valid
panic: Aborted -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to 'octave-workspace'...
save to 'octave-workspace' complete
Abort


I used Intel 17 on a RedHat 7 system and took the kitchen sink approach to
building Octave, including every possible option. My configure line was

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apps/octave-4.2.1/intel-17.0
--with-amd-includedir=/usr/local/apps/SuiteSparse-4.5.5/intel-17.0/include

--with-blas=-mkl=sequential --with-lapack=-mkl=sequential

FFTW was built from source with the configure line

 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apps/fftw-3.3.6/intel-17.0 --with-pic
--enable-avx2

FFTW passed its checks before installation, and Octave built successfully. I
see the same error in the Octave FFTW test with similar configure lines going
back to Octave 4.0.2.
