Script locals in library stack script

[J. Landman Gay]

I know, that's why I didn't report it. I scoured the script looking for 
a difference but I couldn't find anything, the two queries were executed 
by the same handler. I looked for anything that would empty the variable 
and that wasn't there either.

My current theory is creeping stack corruption. The stack ran with only 
this one oddity, but when I tried to reload it from disk later it was 
reported as corrupted and wouldn't open. I had to open it in BBEdit and 
use a days-old backup in LC to paste in all the changes. Apparently it 
had corrupted several days before, but because I'd left the Mac on with 
the stack open I didn't know.

I've sent the working stack and the corrupted one to bugzilla though I 
don't know if the team can make anything of it. The missing variable 
appeared in LC 8.1.2 so I switched over to LC 9 to see if that helped. 
That's when the stack gave up. I think I'll stay away from 9 until it's 
out of dp, but there's something going on with LC 8 too in some unique 
circumstance. I haven't had any trouble with 8 before now.
