Yes, but if after the assert, abort is killed, no message are printed to 
the scilab terminal. I must duplicate the printed messages: one for 
scilab, the other for the bash terminal.
Here, the problem is when I launch scilab by double clicking on my 
desktop icon, no bash terminal is launched, so, I will not able to view 
the message.
Some of the assert are raised because you are attempting to get a value 
from a matrix with an index out of bounds. So, here, nothing is 
compromised, but the assert is raised.
I wanted the hooks to be able to display the message in scilab + a 
warning message like "warning: glpk is compromised, report the bug ..." 
and give the hand to the user.

Such hooks exist in lpsolve.
