Integrated test scripts:

  src\data.cc ............................................ PASS  796/798  FAIL 2
  src\toplev.cc .......................................... PASS    5/6    FAIL 1
  scripts\general\quadl.m ................................ PASS    4/5    FAIL 1
  scripts\miscellaneous\dos.m ............................ PASS    2/3    FAIL 1

Summary:

  PASS  10138
  FAIL      5

The fails of toplev.cc and dos.m seemed to corrected and the changeset seemed 
to be  merged in the stable branch as Rik told in the last post in the 
following.
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?34942

In my opinion the changeset is better to be also merged into the snapshot.
