No, you're not. There issue is that svds has a test that is
nondeterministic and sometimes the error is higher than tolerance. One
the machine that failed, try running "test svds" a few times and see
how often that fails.

I don't know if we can make this test nondeterministic because the
randomness comes from ARPACK, not from Octave, so I don't know if we
can seed it. We could just increase the tolerance.
