password protected stack and passkey

[J. Landman Gay]

It may have been the problem where the message box stops finding things. It 
started in LC 9 for me and happened again today. The message box couldn't 
find a handler in the only card that was open, then couldn't even find the 
card. Keyboard shortcuts stopped working and "edit script of this card" did 
nothing. When that sort of thing starts happening you're about to crash, 
and two minutes later I did. There's no recipe except that debugging seems 
to set it off.


The point being, maybe the fault wasn't that any features have changed but 
rather something else got very confused.
