Follow-up Comment #1:

Confirmed.  In fact, I checked backwards through version 4.2.1 and this
behavior has always been the same.

I changed the summary to be more specific about the issue involved.  I've also
attached the file goo.m that is used for testing.

Here is a test session which demonsrates the problem


octave:2> dbstop goo 2
ans =  2
octave:3> dbstop goo 6
ans =  6
octave:4> dbstatus
breakpoint in goo at line 2 
breakpoint in goo>hoo at line 6 
octave:5> dbclear all
octave:6> dbstatus
octave:7> dbstop goo 2
ans =  2
octave:8> dbstatus
breakpoint in goo at line 2 
breakpoint in goo>hoo at line 6 


If the breakpoint in the subfunction is explicitly cleared then there is no
issue.  See the slightly different sequence below.


octave:2> dbstop goo 2
ans =  2
octave:3> dbstop goo 6
ans =  6
octave:4> dbstatus
breakpoint in goo at line 2 
breakpoint in goo>hoo at line 6 
octave:5> dbclear goo>hoo
octave:6> dbstatus
breakpoint in goo at line 2 
octave:7> dbclear all
octave:8> dbstatus
octave:9> dbstop goo 2
ans =  2
octave:10> dbstatus
breakpoint in goo at line 2 


This is likely to be related to how breakpoints are organized which is under
the name of the main function.
