    _______________________________________________________

Details:

If the test() function detects an error in a unit test, then the pager is
invoked (provided that we are in "more on" mode) when the shared variables
section is too long to fit the terminal.  When this happens, the error message
itself does not goes through the pager and can only be accessed by quitting
the pager and scrolling up the terminal lines.

This behavior can be verified with the function foobar.m (attached below) by 
typing:


test foobar


A trivial cset for fixing this problem is also attached to this bug report.
