Weird script behaviour (was libUrlDownloadToFile & urlProgress)

So more messing about reveals that my problem wasn't with
libUrlDownloadToFile at all - but it's still weird.

I have a button that calls a command - upDateSongs - from its script.

If upDateSongs is in the stack script everything works fine. However
if it's in the card script the app goes mad - it starts processing the
card script from the top, running any code it encounters (my
urlProgress code was at the top of the card script, so it was
triggered by the sending of upDateSongs from the button - hence my
suspicions about libUrlDownloadToFile and urlProgress).

Crazy. And it makes me wonder if my stack is somehow corrupt. Anyone
seen that before?

Cheers
