My best guess would be that in the callback, you should drop the atomic 
bombs clear() (and may be clearglobal()
if the callback instruction has survived to the clear() that it 
performed) as /last/ instructions. clear() also clears the /gcbo/ variable:
So your proposal looks like a gcbo-callback  suicide. And it is somewhat 
preferable to kiss one's mother /before/ suiciding oneself than /after/.

AAaaa /clear all, close all/... Nice custom!
:-)
