Sorry about the delay, I was on vacation (or as close as a grad student gets to one).
My system was a stock testing system at the time. It's a relatively new install (around a month). I haven't done anything like install openmpi/octave from source, install from non-Debian repos etc. All the packages were from the Debian testing repo(s). I installed the version of octave-openmpi-ext from unstable (which also forced octave to upgrade). After that, it works consistently. The problems seems to be gone. Thank you for your time. Is there anything I can do?

While I haven't test it a lot, it seems to work without erring out or crashing, out of the 10 or so times I tested it. > > I have just uploaded version 1.1.0 of the package to unstable.
