I ran the test suite on Windows 10 1803 and got two unexpected errors:

1:

processing
C:\Octave\OCTAVE~1.1-R\share\octave\4.4.1-rc2\m\miscellaneous\run.m

***** test
 clear A  # the variable "A" should be set by the script
 assert (exist ("A"), 0);
 tmp_dir = tempname ();
 test_script = fullfile (tmp_dir, "test_script.m");
 unwind_protect
   mkdir (tmp_dir);
   fid = fopen (test_script, "w");
   fprintf (fid, "A = 1337;\n");
   fclose (fid);
   run (test_script);
   assert (exist ("A", "var"), 1);
   assert (A, 1337);
 unwind_protect_cleanup
   unlink (test_script);
   rmdir (tmp_dir);
 end_unwind_protect
!!!!! test failed

That one is because there happened to be a folder named "a" in Octave's
current directory. Maybe we could change the test to use a more random
variable name?

Sounds simple enough.  Can you make a cset to change this to an obscure variable name that starts with '__' to also indicate that this is an internal variable.

 warning (saved_opts);

Any chance you have a function 'foo' defined somehow?
