On the default branch, I get failed tests with HDF5 file I/O in io.tst and
sparse.tst.

Example 'make check' output

I have also seen this error crash Octave, but I can't reproduce it at the
moment.

I am not yet sure when this started failing for me, since I haven't been
building the default branch regularly, but the stable branch does not have
this problem at all.
