[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44478] test __osmesa_print__.cc-tst crashes on ubuntu

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #44478 (project octave):

The function that is segfaulting according to gdb is glGetIntegerv and the
function prototype says that the variable reference passed in should be of
type GLint.  The code in __osmesa_print__.cc is using just int.  It is
possible that the C++ int and GLint differ in size so a different amount of
memory is being written by the Nvidia routines which should have been compiled
against the OpenGL headers.

This is unlikely to be the source of the problem, but was bad practice anyways
so I changed it (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/f48e650a68b5).

@Tatsuro, you should be able to build from Mercurial sources on Ubuntu easily.
 If you can check whether this helps that would be great.
