After running pacman for J7 J crashed with a control error in dlog_read. As
this is starting in Jconsole I could turn on debug in profile.ijs to see
better the problem. It turns out that KeepInputLog is undefined causing the
error in script addons/gui/gtkide/gtkide.ijs, line 5909. I am not sure that
I have everything right, so it might be a problem I caused, but I am passing
this on anyway.

First: the name is undefined and should be defined somewhere.

Second: Is there any way to have the interpreter return an undefined name
error instead of a control error for this type of error? The error is
misleading, to say the least, as it is not a control error. If the function
being run is of any size it can be difficult to find what name is undefined
and where it is being referenced. And the problem could really be a control
error at which time one wastes a lot of time looking for the undefined name.
