OK, updated and compiled.  I see 3.9.0+ now.

Some cruft on my system from modifying unique.m tests long ago.  The 
warning did its job.

One bug when attempting to print, which wants a temporary file. 
"tempname.m" and "tmpnam.m" recursively call one another:

'tempname' is a function from the file 
/usr/local/share/octave/3.9.0+/m/miscellaneous/tempname.m

'tmpnam' is a function from the file

error: max_recursion_depth exceeded
error: called from
    tmpnam at line 43 column 12
    tempname at line 29 column 12
    tmpnam at line 43 column 12
    tempname at line 29 column 12
[etc]

Is one of these functions something that was in the deprecated list?
