Details:

I designed three programs to test this bug:
*File:* callit.m

a(i)

*File:* a.m

function o=a(i) 
    fprintf("here, i=%d\n",i)
endfunction

*File:* b.m

function o=b(i) 
    i+=3;
    callit 
    source('callit.m','base') 
    source('callit.m','caller') 
endfunction

Then execute this chain:

>> i=1
i =  1
>> b(3)
here, i=6
here, i=1
here, i=1

It seems that calling source() function with 'base' and 'caller' parameter has
the same result, but var i should be changed in 'caller' context.
