Details:

Debugging errors in callbacks is difficult as the call stack is not displayed
and only this error message appears:


execution error in graphics callback function
-verbatim+

as, for example, here:


function testme
  F = figure ();
  uicontrol (F, 'String', 'Button', 'Callback', @clbk);
endfunction

function clbk (h, e)
  throw_an_error ();
endfunction


then if one use 'dbstop if error', click the button and type 'dbquit', there's
a segfault.
