[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40436] median no longer passes make check

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #31, bug #40436 (project octave):

I forgot to paste some intermediate results I found.

I generated a random vector of length 100 and call nth_element with argument
98:100.

Before calling std::nth_element at
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/efbed19b8e04/liboctave/util/oct-sort.cc#l1916


data[97] = 0.162404
data[98] = 0.154987
data[99] = 0.964765


Afterwards:


data[97] = -4.11178e-50
data[98] = -6.48408e-256
data[99] = 0.993401
