There is a seg-fault issue that Marius Schamschula  reported. I'm having
trouble tracking down exactly which part of the sparse code in octave is
causing the seg-fault, and at the moment have given him a new version of
test.m with fflush'es before every fprintf to ensure all messages are
flushed prior to the test. I think a similar change should be made in
the CVS..

However, this appears to be independent of octave-forge and so I'm not
sure it should delay an octave-forge release.
