package octave-ftp
reassign 490588 swig 1.3.36-1
thanks
I am reassigning Bug#490588 to the swig package. Here is the executive
summary: the octave-ftp package uses SWIG to build an Octave wrapper. This
wrapper has a bug that makes Octave segfault when running "clear all" with
the octave-ftp package autoloaded.
This problem has been discussed in the bug-octave mailing list [1].
According to Michael Goffioul:
"[A]n oct-file that defines a new octave object class (octave_base_value
inherited) should also make sure not to be unloaded before all objects
of that class have been deleted. It should somehow lock itself to avoid
unloading."
The SWIG Octave wrapper should be fixed according to the above.
