My tip is current, but "make check" still results in

          test_bc_overloads.m .................................... PASS  
225/451  FAIL 226

However, if I run octave and cd to the test directory ...

        octave:1> test test_bc_overloads
        PASSES 451 out of 451 tests

Is this another MacOS X specific thing? ... Is anyone else seeing this?
