Strange behavior

[xbury.cs at clearstream.com]

on textoid txt
  lock messages
  create stack
  set name of the topstack to "Textoid"
 go to card 1 of stack "textoid" 
-- why is the previous line necessary? go figure...
 create field
 set the rect of fld 1 to the rect of card 1
 put txt into fld 1
end textoid

then type in the message something like:
textoid "hello"

Sounds simple, but for some crooked reason, what happens is that I get two
stacks, both are called "textoid", one is empty, the other has one field
with the rect of the stack and the text that was in the param, and then
there's at least 1 more "raw" field with no text above the first one...

If i reinstall MC, and put it into the blank home stack, it works correctly.
But then what good is the lock messages for? I've commented out also the
openstack/newfield, etc... scripts... 

Can anyone explain?
