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.
