[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #64864] Segfault after 'cd /path/to/somewhere' under Debian

[Petter]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #64864 (project octave):


[comment #6 comment #6:]
> @Petter, does the patch in comment #5 also resolve bug #60620 and bug
#64735?

Maybe. I think it would solve #60620. #64735 I dunno.

I ran 'octave' instead of 'octave-cli' to see what thread the interpreter runs
in, and it does not seem to be the primordial thread on my system. 

However, Qt seems to run some sort of poll function QEventLoop() in the
primordial thread, so in theory there could be issues there too, if the event
loop calls some java code via Octave at some point. But I dunno what the event
loop actually does.

Also, maybe earlier versions of Qt did things differently.

The general recommendation from Sun seemed to be to not attach the jvm to the
primordial thread.
