scilab crashing

Congratulations on getting 5.3.0!
So it's too bad I must report this:

I'm seeing random crashes on scilab-5.3.0-beta-5, built by me on 8th
Dec.  But I feel silly reporting a bug as I really don't know exactly
what I am doing to make it crash, or if it is repeatable.  But I've
crashed it now at least twice in the last 36 hours.

I've been playing with axis properties, both directly through a handle,
and with drawaxis() to learn how to manipulate things like axis ticks
&c.  So I'm just "playing" when it crashes. By "playing" I mean trying
this and trying that.  (This playing, e.g., led me to discover the
previously reported bug:

  <http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2267> 

I have the most recent two crash logs "hs_err_pid...." which are each
about 100K which I'm happy to send if they will help diagnosis.

Please direct me as to how to (or whether to) submit this bug.  I
suppose it is still in the just-released scilab-5.3.0.  It is evidently
not that easy to tickle it since people are not reporting lots of
crashes. But this bug seems very real, nonetheless.

Thanks.

Dean
