Bug Description
I'm using GNU octave frequently, here I wanted to work on a simple analysis problem. Then, octave crashed. I came up with a minimal input set to reproduce the crash:
$ octave --no-gui
(I know that the GUI is recommended, however, I'm a strong supporter of "headless" software and as such often use a terminal to work interactively)
enter:
K=[1/3,-10,101,20];
E=[0,0,10,0];
G=E-K;
x=linspace(
then type Ctrl-C (^C).
octave crashes with the following output:
^C*** longjmp causes uninitialized stack frame ***: /usr/lib/

If you want to use Octave in terminal mode, you might consider using "octave-cli" instead of "octave --no-gui", they are slightly different. Does using octave-cli resolve this bug for you?
If not, and if you are able to upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu, are you able to reproduce this in Octave 4.2.1, which is available in Ubuntu 17.10 or 18.04?
