I haven't verified that this is a bug, but if it is, try this stack script:

on OpenStack
	set lockscreen to true
	domenu "Print Stack..."  -- bring up the print stack dialog
	type return -- put dialog box away
	set lockscreen to false
end OpenStack

I have a feeling that the lockscreen will not prevent the dialog box from
appearing, but I can't check it out right now.
