Since it is now stated that this is a real problem, which may cause data
loss to the users, we might raise the severity level and propose a new
patched version for wheezy, based on:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/704e15f8fecd
What do the other maintainers think?
I don't think this bug causes data losses (which corresponds to severity
"grave" or "critical"), unless I am missing something. It rather causes
crashes in very specific conditions, which is a different thing.
Data loss is perhaps not the appropriate term. What I meant is that
users can launch Octave for a series of computations that may last for
a long time and then loose their work due to a crash.
I don't even think it is of severity important (and therefore I don't
think it is eligible for an unblock). But I won't object if you want to
try.
Fair enough. I would also prefer not putting much energy on this, since
it appears to be a corner case.
