Details:

The fixed tests in the test directory include a test for bug #38691 where
Octave's loadpath is not correctly updated after using addpath.

The bug was fixed for Linux, but on MinGW it continues to fail in a
probabilistic manner.  Using the following code,


for i = 1:100
  bm(i) = test ("bug-38691.tst");
endfor
sum (bm)


I see 68 successes instead of 100 successes.

If I alter the .tst script to update the cache with rehash


%!   addpath dir2;
%!   rehash;


then I get 100 passing tests.
