    _______________________________________________________

Details:

dbstatus() called within a function to retrieve the list of all active
breakpoints doesn't show all of them. Only when specifically asked,
dbstatus("func") returns the breakpoints in func. 

Code example:

dbclear magic
allbreaks = dbstatus()
magicbreaks = dbstatus("magic")
% both above return empty struct

dbstop magic

allbreaks = dbstatus()
magicbreaks = dbstatus("magic")
% both above show breakpoint in magic

function lookforbreaks ()
   allbreaks = dbstatus()
   magicbreaks = dbstatus("magic")
endfunction

lookforbreaks()
% only dbstatus("magic") sees breakpoint in magic


When an additional breakpoint is set in the function lookforbreaks(),
dbstatus() within the function sees only that one.
