I just tried to compile and run 3.0.2 with MSVC. It compiles fine and
reports 2 test failures:

1) It seems there's a typo in the test code

  ***** test

 assert(randp(1e9,1,6),[1000006208 1000012224 999981120 999963520
999963072 999981440]],1e-6))
!!!!! test failed
parse error near line 231 of file ./fntests.m

  syntax error

endfunction

                   ^

shared variables {
  __random_statistical_tests__ = 0
}

2) This one, I don't know what to do. When debugging, it seems
xdnrm2 returns Inf.
