Package: octave2.9
Version: 2.9.9-8
Severity: important
Tags: fixed-upstream
The following one-liner in Octave 2.9 uses up all memory until the OOM killer
kicks in:
inline ("[x]")
The patch from
https://www.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/bug-octave/2006-October/000903.html
fixes this.
A more complicated example from octave2.9-forge's unit tests has the same
problem:
=======================================================================
clear all
A=[ 1, 4, 2, 5,54,55,61,62;
3, 6, 3, 1,58,53,67,65;
3, 6, 3, 1,58,53,67,65;
3, 6, 3, 1,58,53,67,65;
23,42,42,42,99,99,99,99;
27,42,42,42,99,99,99,99;
23,22,26,25,99,99,99,99;
22,22,24,22,99,99,99,99];
first_eq=inline("(A(1,1,:)!=(54*ones(1,1,[size(A),1](3))))(:)","A");
=======================================================================
This means the unit tests can't be run on the buildds.

Changes:
octave2.9 (2.9.9-8etch1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* This release is intended for the testing (etch) distribution. It is
coordinated with the release 2006.07.09+dfsg1-8 of octave2.9-forge,
necessary for fixing Bug#410463. The fix for this bug revealed a
nasty bug in Octave related to the parsing of inline functions. File
debian/patches/50_parse-inline-brackets.dpatch fixes it (closes:
#411863). This patch was proposed by the upstream author, see
http://www.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/bug-octave/2006-October/000903.html
.
* Tighten build-dependency on glpk and libglpk0 to << 4.15, to avoid
problems with the new glpk 4.15 package now in experimental.
