Andrew,

   The following updated patch implements your suggestion of having a new error 
routine that throw RETURN_QUIT.  The backtrace command is now protected with a 
catch_errors call.  I did not change other existing calls to catch_errors to use 
RETURN_MASK_ERROR instead of RETURN_MASK_ALL.

   Ok or is there something I have missed?
