I've reproduced this behavior on my machine (Maxima 5.9.1cvs
on clisp 2.31 on linux).  It seems likely this is due to
global variables being assigned by some tests which hang
around after the test is over, and then change the way
results are computed for other tests when run_testsuite() is
executed again.

This theory could be tested by doing a global save before
run_testsuite(), then restoring, then doing run_testsuite()
again. Unfortunately there's no built in mechanism for
global save -- "save (filename, all)" isn't it.
