Follow-up Comment #4:

I pushed a fix on stable and default for this issue.

https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/261d23b8933b

I was able to add some code to '__run_test_suite__' to print all random state
values, and diff the outputs from run to run. Now every run of 'make check'
does have a different random state from start to finish.

This may expose some more tolerance errors in some functions in the future,
since all tests under scripts and test using any rand function were being run
with the same values every time until now.
