    _______________________________________________________

Details:

If an anonymous function has been returned from a function and calls this
functions subfunction, changes to the subfunction take effect only after 2nd
saving.

Example:

define the following function "test_reread", containing the subfunction
"subf", in a function file:


function ret = test_reread ()

  ret = @ () subf ();

endfunction

function subf ()

  disp (1);

endfunction


Then, from the commandline, type:

octave:1> f = test_reread ();
octave:2> f ();
 1


Then, in "test_reread.m", change "disp (1)" to "disp (2)", then to "disp
(3)", and so on, and after each change save the function file exactly one time
and repeat the commands from the commandline. You should see that the
displayed number is one step behind.
