    _______________________________________________________

Details:

If a command given at the debug prompt causes an error, it returns to top
level, not to the debug prompt. Example:


octave:1> function func ()
> keyboard
> endfunction
octave:2> func
stopped in func at line 2
debug> error ("test")
error: test
error: called from
    func at line 2 column 1
octave:2>


Since this is probably connected to recent changes, basing error() on
expressions, see also (noted by Rik):
