Under what circumstances would random(0) be expected to provide a useful
result?  Why not save the clock cycles by using 0 directly?

Does calling "lock menus" before the menu update and "unlock menus"
afterward fix the issue?

I've been using frontscripts and backscripts extensively since they

smartest yet, and very robust.  Could there be some other factor affecting
those?
