Also, the GUI is experimental in version 3.8.1. Try running the regular CLI version of Octave, without --force-gui as an option, and see if the code still has problems.

Thanks for your bug report. Yes, we will need much more information. Is your piece of code a compiled oct-file or mex-file, or is it scripts or functions in m-files? If your code is compiled, there is a possibility that your function may be bringing the segmentation fault. If your code is purely m-files, then this is potentially a bug in Octave.

Can you share your code? Or can you create a minimal example that demonstrates the same error and share that?

If you can't share your code so that we can reproduce it, can you install the octave-dbg package from Debian testing and get a stack trace of the error? See http://wiki.octave.org/Debugging_Octave, ignoring the parts about rebuilding Octave because the octave-dbg package ensures you have debug symbols.

I am running the 3.8.1 GUI version of Octave. With a piece of code and data I'm running, it sometimes just quits with no warning leaving a cryptic "octave exited with signal 11" message on the command line.

This doesn't make for a good bug report - so what can I do to help?

(BTW I didn't compile it myself, I got it from Debian testing).
