I commented out these tests and added the following note:
## The following tests have been disabled because creating functions
## on the fly causes trouble (filesystem timestamp resolution?) and so
## leads people to complain about the failed tests when the dispatch

## dispatch should be considered obsolete and probably removed from
## Octave now that we have classes.
Does anyone disagree with this?

I increased the tolerance on all the tests in eigs.cc to 1e-11.
