Details:

Hi,

I ran into a problem which I could track down a lot:

Assume there is a function reinhold.m


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
function reinhold()

a=1
b=2
keyboard
c=sum([a b])
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

If I call it as usual

>>reinhold

then I get the debug line as expected. But if I do

>>eval('reinhold')

then "keaboard" hangs an I can only stop it by Ctrl-C.

>>feval('reinhold') 

is working instead. Well I don't know if this is a bug, but at least it seems
weird.
