    <p>Hello Stefan & Claus,</p>
    <p>I manage to reproduce the bug in Scilab 5.5.2 but it has been
      fixed on the master branch (Scilab 6): Xcos doesn't crash after
      calls to input().</p>
    <p>You may want to port your code to Scilab 6, or as a workaround
      you can use other <a

    <p>Regards,</p>
    <p>Paul<br>

                    You are launching Xcos properly, but this number of
                    toolboxes

                    Can you please disable their autoload and try to

                    If it
