Details:

executing some garbage with F9 


asdfg


results in


>> asdfg
error: 'asdfg' undefined near line 4, column 4
error: called from
    octave_j23498 at line 4 column 1
>>


Both the temporary scipt name and the line numbers are irrelevant for the
user, even misleading, and should better be omitted.
