Details:

Tested on computer('arch'): mingw32-i686 and gnu-linux-x86_64.

Calling clear('functions') in a function causes all subfunctions to become
undefined.

$ cat <<EOF >subfunction.m
function subfunction()
clear functions;
subfunction_1();
function subfunction_1()
fprintf('hi\n');
EOF
$ octave
> subfunction
error: `subfunction_1' undefined near line 4 column 1
error: called from:
error:   C:\...\subfunction.m at line 4, column 1

Expected output is 'hi'. (Tested with Matlab R2011b)
