Details:

On running the tests for the financial package, a number of tests fail [1]
[2]
Some are due to failures as running tests from private functions
fetch_google.m, fetch_yahoo.m 

Some failures occur in datesplit.m beuase it uses the current day/month but
datevec will return 1s for day, month if no date is given. 

Using the sources from mercurial have the same failures, and in addition:

year.m fails as is testing against year 4 - expecting 1934, but is getting a
value of 2034 (same as matlab)

busdate.m and busday fails with values off by 1.

ASSERT errors for:  assert (busdate ([datenum(2008, 1, 2), datenum(2007, 1,
1)]),[datenum(2008, 1, 3), datenum(2007, 1, 2)])

  Location  |  Observed  |  Expected  |  Reason
    (2)         733045       733044      Abs err 1 exceeds tol 0


On install from dev several files have warnings printed similar to:

C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp\octave-help-SwZAoV:95: Unmatched 
address@hidden'.
warning: get_first_help_sentence: couldn't run makeinfo on 'binprice'
