I have another nice one in that department : a library
stack creates a new stack (no cloning) and tries to
set its script (within the 10-line limit) -- worked
fine until the stack was encrypted.
While encrypted, it would come to a grinding halt at
the line 'set the script of...' ; no error indicating
what had gone wrong. As I found another way to
accomplish the same end-goal that did work in ncrypted
form, I didn't pursue the topic.
