I may have come across a couple more 4.4.0 bugs.  They both have to do 
with successfully building the documentation, with I think is a high 
priority to keep bundle-builders happy.

This one fixes an address violation caught by ASAN we discussed.  It has 
to do with having OpenGL line stipple on when doing filled GL_QUADS.  At 
first appearance, this seems to fix problems I've had with building the 
documentation figures all the way on some KDE/Plasma systems for which I 
haven't installed the Nvidia driver and Nouveau comes standard.

After getting to the point of having all the documentation figures with 
the above fix, I now see a LaTeX error in which there appears to be 
doc/liboctave/liboctave.texi missing from the build-directory, which I 
always pick different from the source-directory.  But I think that file 
is in the $(srcdir) and needs to be implicitly transfered over to the 
build tree.  Given the proximity to release, perhaps JWE should tackle 
this one.
