If it is the coth-1 test, then that is a bug in the C library, not
Octave.

| error: near line 1 of file `./octave.test/matrix/shift-3.m'
| child process exited abnormally
| PASS: octave.test/matrix/shift-3.m
| EXEC: ../src/octave -f -q -H -p .:../src//:./../scripts//
| ./octave.test/matrix/sort-1.m
| 
| Octave Output:
| ans = 1
| PASS: octave.test/matrix/sort-1.m

This is normal.  Many of the tests are checking to see that
diagnosics are produced appropriately.
