Marking as fixed since the latest binary uses Apple's BLAS library and this seems to resolve the crash. If this continues to be a problem feel free to comment here further or open a new bug report.

I have gotten first feedback that it's now working, so indeed openblas seems to be the problem. I will now carefully check if there are any drawbacks when using apple's blas (another alternative would be atlas).

Does the 4.0.2 binary still fail? If yes, can you please try this test build? https://www.dropbox.com/s/adlb1treskuib3u/octave_gui_403_appleblas.dmg?dl=0

Background: it's compiled with apple blas instead of openblas. We suspect openblas to be guilty. This is also consistent with the fact that the standard homebrew installation works (it uses apple blas by default).

I was installing originally using the binary. I was using gnuplot all along - i.e. graphics_toolkit(gnuplot). When I removed everything and re-installed using brew, everything seems to work.

I'd be happy to help investigate if there is something I can do with my current installation.

Crashing while using the default OpenGL-based graphics toolkits is a known issue documented on http://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_MacOS_X and http://wiki.octave.org/Create_a_MacOS_X_App_Bundle_Using_Homebrew.

If using the gnuplot toolkit works but using the default qt toolkit does not work, are you willing to help debug the crash? If not then this report will be closed.

cc sschoeps: anything to add?

With a fresh install of Octave 4.0.2 using 'octave_gui_402.dmg', on Mac OS X 10.9.5, I simply type 'plot(1:10)', and the whole application crashes with the following error (and additional thread information):
