Follow-up Comment #1, bug #52977 (project octave):
Same bug is triggered with
get_help_text ("somename")
if somename.oct is a file intended to be autoloaded with an alias.
This happens in installation of packages with such files, since Octaves
builtin "__list_functions__" doesn't handle autoloads if called with a
directory argument. (So that was triggers the bug is probably a bug itself. A
different issue.)
The fix for the original bug (the segfault), enabling installation of such
packages again, is checking if the loaded function is zero before using it. A
small changeset is attached.
(file #43190)
