[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57182] [octave forge] (signal) decimate causes octave to be killed

[Chris Gorman]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #57182 (project octave):

Hi Mike,

The exact problem is that octave exits after running the commands.

pkg load signal
y = rand (1, 1e8);
d = decimate (y, 8, 'fir');

I have not been able to reproduce this error on another machine, I only have
one other one and it works properly on it.

The following is a strace output.  

octave:1> pkg load signal
octave:2> y = rand (1, 1e8);
octave:3> d = decimate (y, 8, 'fir');
) = 0 (Timeout)
recvmsg(6, {msg_namelen=0}, 0)          = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
recvmsg(6, {msg_namelen=0}, 0)          = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
recvmsg(6, {msg_namelen=0}, 0)          = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}, {fd=7, events=POLLIN},
{fd=12, events=POLLIN}], 4, -1 <unfinished ...>) = ?
+++ killed by SIGKILL +++
Killed

Under gdb I get the following.

Program terminated with signal SIGKILL, Killed.
The program no longer exists.
(gdb) 

I have not sent a sigkill signal to the program myself.  This is being done by
the os or octave itself.
