Don't know if this even possible since it currently runs in the same thread as R (that's at least my understanding). So even after cleaning up with do_octave_atexit(), we can still send commands to Octave which responds fine, except if errors occurs and then a segfault sometimes come up suggesting some thing is in a bad state. Anyway, this is not really a big issue.<br>
