I had the same problem on my ArchLinux x86_64 machine, but for me it happened on the CLI:
octave -qW
octave:1> exit
panic: Aborted -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to 'octave-workspace'...
panic: attempted clean up failed -- aborting...
octave exited with signal 6
$
The interesting thing is that if I do not use the -q switch, octave gracefully closes!:
$ octave -W

I had alias octave='octave -qW', so I was always suffering this problem. Maybe the GUI calls octave with the '-q' switch, causing this problem.
