Details:

The following sequence of commands causes a segfault:


v = [-5.3416e-01 1.7764e-15 -4.3967e-01 -5.6961e-01 1.0388e+00 4.5560e-01
-2.0687e-01 -6.6613e-16 -8.8818e-16 1.0414e-01]'
w = zeros(10,1)
max(w,v,2)


panic: Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to `octave-core'...
save to `octave-core' complete
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I hadn't read the help for max very carefully before calling it as above. I
later obtained the desired output via


max([w v]')'
