For information, we are going to update the Debian versions on the servers when Stephane comes back from vacation at the end of August. When this is done, the Octave version will be changed.

The tests are run on karaba where Octave 3.6.2 is installed. This should be changed as we don't intend to support previous versions of Octave.
I would suggest to only support Octave 4.0.0 that is readily available for Windows and Linux (OS/X seems a bit more complicate)
With Octave 4.0.0, there seems to be several issues. I have already solved one linked to a bug in linsolve, but there are others.

Does anyone know where the unit test crashes in Octave for many files comes from? They all have similar issues with check_matlab_path.m. The message always is some variant of:

I cannot replicate it under Windows with Octave 3.8.2. Thus, I don't know whether it is Linux or Octave 3.6 on Karaba that is causing the issue.
