[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57460] Tolerance exceeded in test for "svds" on Windows

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #57460 (project octave):

ARPACK and the BIST tests have been a huge saga.  The initialization value of
42 was set after a search on Linux, Windows, and Mac machines for a value that
would work everywhere.  That was a difficult process which just isn't worth
repeating.

I think we should just relax the tolerance of the test.  In fact, given a
matrix of random values, it is not clear to me why we should expect the 7
largest of those to be within any particular zone of convergence.
