Details:

I'm using 4.2.1 on debian via stretch-backports.


Nested function fails to inherit a variable.  Below, _callsub, a nested
function, says that K is unknown. 

function testmy();
  _setK();
  _callsub();
  ## disp(K) uncommenting this removes the bug! 

  function _callsub();
    disp(K) ## says that K is unknown! 
  endfunction
  
endfunction


  
function _setK();
  assignin("caller", "K", 1);
endfunction
