[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #38236] invoking script in demo block to define variables causes errors

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #30, bug #38236 (project octave):

Looking again, I see that even with octave-cli, it displays 1 on the first
trip through the outer loop, then 100 for all the rest.  Then it displays 100
each time through on subsequent runs.

I get the same result with the GUI with the attached patch.  So clearly
something is wrong with what we're asking the GUI to do inside the clear
function.  It makes sense that this results in some kind of race condition
given that it involves actions with octave_link.  I think we need to rethink
the way this communication works (as Dan was urging me to do years ago).
