OK, then try running Octave with

  ./run-octave -g

then at the (gdb) prompt, type "run", then at the Octave prompt, cd to
the src/DLD-FUNCTIONS directory and type "test lu".  That should
result in the same segfault and you should be able to get information
about where the crash happens and examine the variables in scope at
the time of the crash.
