Octave on IRIX v4.0.5

[Lab Manager]

        I just built Octave 1.0 on SGI IRIX v4.0.5H.  Everything built
(fairly) easily with the exception of having to cast calls to signal().
However, in running the tests, I get the following:

Test Run By Manager on Sat Apr  2 22:59:30 PST 1994
Native configuration

                === octave tests ===

Running ./octave.test/fsolve.exp ...
Running ./octave.test/index.exp ...
Running ./octave.test/infnan.exp ...
Running ./octave.test/npsol.exp ...
FAIL:   npsol-1
FAIL:   npsol-4
Running ./octave.test/transpose.exp ...

                === octave Summary ===

# of expected passes       20


                How should I interpret this?

NOTE:  Please reply directly to me; I don't follow the general mail list.
