I've been developing an XFCN to do a quicksort of a field, and I've run
into some bugs...
1.  The callback ScanToReturn goes into the weeds.
2.  My XFCN returns a Handle.  In processing that Handle, HCGS forgot its
user ID in some fashion.  I quickly ran out of allocable memory, since
nothing was being returned.
3.  To debug 2, I turned on Scrambler just before I called my XFCN.  During
the load of my XFCN, Scrambler kicked in and Hypercard went south. 
Apparently, Hypercard doesn't lock its handles correctly.
