Details:

Octave hangs and crashes when trying to save a particular plot that I needed.
I can see the graph, but as soon as the saveas command is used, it hangs. The
code is provided here and attached as well (along with the required data):

clear all;
close all;
clc;
pkg load optim;
path='PSD_Data_1\';
files=dir(sprintf('%s*.mat',path));
[r1,c1]=size(files);
fs=3000;
curveorder=1;
load(sprintf('%s%s',path,files(1).name));
l=length(data);
nfft=2^nextpow2(l);
f=0:fs/nfft:fs/2;
f2=f(2:end);
freqspec=abs(fft(data,nfft));
freqspec=freqspec(1:nfft/2+1);
powspec=1/(fs*nfft)*abs(freqspec).^2;
powspec(2:end-1)=2*powspec(2:end-1);
powspecdb=10*log10(powspec);
[alpha,c,rmsval]=expfit(curveorder,f(1),(fs/nfft),powspecdb);
curveval=(-exp(alpha*f))*c;
figure
semilogx(f,curveval);
hold on;
semilogx(f,powspecdb);
curvecoeff=polyfit(f',powspecdb,1);
curveval2=polyval(curvecoeff,f');
grid on;
hold off;
figure
semilogx(f,curveval2);
hold on
semilogx(f,powspecdb);
grid on;
hold off;
print(1,'PleaseDoNotCrash.png');

Additional Info: Octave 4.0.0, Windows 7 SP1 64 Bits.
N.B: Tried it with a few others, did not crash. Crashes with this particular
code.
