This is a bug in the way octave2.9-forge creates its test files (they
are simply not valid). However, fixing this turned up a bug in Octave
2.9. This bug is nasty, as it eats all memory during octave2.9-forge's
unit tests. I guess buildd admins won't like that too much. Fortunately,
it's already fixed upstream and a small patch suffices.

So either we fix the tests and ask debian-release for a new version of
both octave2.9 and octave2.9-forge  or we disable them and try to get
octave2.9-forge in its current state into Etch. 

I'll ask on debian-release.
