On Debian stable (squeeze), one test fails:

Summary:

  PASS  10200
  FAIL      1

There were 2 expected failures (see fntests.log for details).

The failed function was pinv that also failed on 3.5.90. If I run
"make check" a second and third time, the failure is reproducible.

However, when I actually run octave and "test pinv" from the prompt,
the function passes all tests.
