No, I'm not seeing crashes and I've been running make check a lot
while making these changes, including running the tests with valgrind.

Can you run the tests with gdb?  Do do that, either cd to the tests
directory and run make check to see what command is run and paste that
into the shell with "-g" added as an option to run-octave or edit the
generated tests/Makefile to add -g to the run-octave options.  (Maybe
we should make this easier to do...)
