Follow-up Comment #8:

"Still some warnings from TSAN."

Yeah, I think there are still many threading problems with the way the
graphics objects are handled.

I don't see any reason not to make this change on stable, so I'll do that much
at least.

There is another call to warning in Table.cc in the function qStringValueFor:


    else
      {
        std::stringstream warn_string;
        warn_string << "Unknown conversion for datatype " << val.class_name
()
                    << " to " << format
                    << " for value " << val.string_value (true);
        warning ("%s", warn_string.str ().c_str ());

        text = Utils::fromStdString (val.string_value (true));
      }


I don't understand this code well enough to see how that warning can be
triggered, but ultimately the result appears to be that an attempt is made to
convert an octave_value to a string.  Given that the call to warning is not
safe at this point, it seems best to just eliminate it.

I pushed the following change on stable and merged with default:
