Package: octave-plplot
Version: 5.3.1-8
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


I have been trying to get plplot to work in Octave 2.1, but every time I try to
use it, it causes Octave to crash.  Here is an example:

radar:~> octave
1:~>> LOADPATH = "/usr/share/plplot_octave//:/usr/share/octave//:"
LOADPATH = /usr/share/plplot_octave//:/usr/share/octave//:
2:~>> toggle_plplot_use
Use PLplot: on
3:~>> plot(sin(1:10),'-o')
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x0a3e2218 ***
panic: Aborted -- stopping myself...
Aborted
radar:~> 

Unfortunately, I really don't know what this means, or how to debug it.  I would
be more than willing to help figure it out if anyone can give me some
suggestions to try.  The commands I used are straight from the setup
documentation for Debian included with the package (although I must admit that
they were a little confusing because they don't state explicitly what the paths
are that need to be loaded.

Please let me know how I can help, and thanks for maintaining.

jamie.
