Octave crashes with libatlas

[Matyas Mechler]

Binary package hint: octave3.2

With libatlas3gf-base installed, even a simple dot product produces crash; e.g.:
a=[1 2 3]; a*a'
results in:

panic: Illegal instruction -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to `octave-core'...
save to `octave-core' complete
Illegal instruction
