@buterbrod: Can you post the original m-file (with DOS file endings) that causes a crash so we can try and reproduce this issue?

 I just tried using unix2dos to convert an M file to dos endings, and it still works for me.
I have Ubuntu 16.04 and newest octave stable.

On Linux when importing  .m script Octave hangs;
memory bloats; Octave uses all computer memory and
eventually computer crashes or stops responding!
All that when importing a simple .m  script file.

After long experimentation,
As it turns out this happens when .m file
is coded with Dos style line ending /cr /lf
This .m file comes in examples Matlab code from the book.
Every example I tried causes same crash.

Workaround I found is to convert .m file from Dos to Unix coding style.

I consider it's a bug. the program should not crash
when importing files created in Dos or Windows.

regards
Igor
