Its even worse than that.. If I have a function for example

function y = testf1 (x)
 y = testf2(x);   ## line 2
endfunction
function y = testf2(x)
 y = x +1;  ## line 5
endfunction

I can do dbstop("testf1",2). However, I can't set the breakpoint dbstop
("testf1:testf2",1) and if I set the breakpoint like dbstop ("testf1",
5), then the breakpoint is never triggered. So there is no way to set a
breakpoint in a subfunction. The first of these syntaxes worked with
3.0.1, but not the second.
