    (1)      -3482258.635 -3482258.635   Abs err 3.3514e-06 exceeds tol 3e-06

so just slightly over tolerance.


octave:2> test test/system.tst
***** error <Invalid call to pause> pause (1, 2)
!!!!! error failed.
Expected <Invalid call to pause>, but got <unable to open
/usr/share/octave/4.0.0-rc1/etc/macros.texi for reading>

Since this is during a package build, there is no /usr/share/octave... yet.

Happy to file bugs if that's desired.
