Details:

Since the function stemleaf.m was introduced one of its
tests has failed when running make check.  If the tests
are run by:
./run-octave
test stemleaf 

the tests all pass.

I found a possibly useful fact about this.  If the Octave
system was built without ImageMagick and therefore the variable
HAVE_MAGICK is not set in make check, the stemleaf test passes.
There are 2 references to HAVE_MAGICK  in the make check tests:
imread.m and copyobj.m.  I am pretty sure that the cause of the
stemleaf failure is something left over from the test in copyobj.

When I asked Rik about this problem he said there was something
strange happening in the make check process.  I hope that this
will be a useful clue.
