Super! We have greatly diminished the number of failures on the tests. I tried to see why gsa/ls2003.mod was failing under Octave but can't understand. The test works when dynare is called interactively, but fails when called via run_test_octave.m. It looks as if the interaction of try and global estim_params_ is creating a problem in this case. It would be great if somebody finds out what is going on.
