Right, but the code that Przemek quoted is just there as a backup in
case the sys_siglist global variable isn't defined.  So the idea is
the same, that Octave has received a SIGPROF signal.  Currently there
is a handler installed for that if SIGPROF is defined, and it just
aborts with a panic message.  Perhaps that is not the right action?
If it is not, then what is the correct thing to do?
