Details:

Octave's dbquit function doesn't accept an "all" option.

Additionally, dbquit with no options appears to work like Matlab's "dbquit
all" is documented to behave.

If you execute


dbstop sombrero
sombrero


then execute somebrero again at the "debug> " prompt you should be at the
second level debug prompt (displayed as "[1]debug> ").  At that prompt,
executing dbquit with no options should pop you back to the first debug prompt
but Octave will exit the debugger completely and send you all the way back to
the top-level command prompt.

In Matlab, "dbquit" exits one level of the debugger and "dbquit all" exits the
debugger completely.
