Comment:
I believe that Mitch has fixed the keyboard problem (b, above). The
remaining issue is what happens if you run off the end of the script (c).
This is somewhat insecure, as forth errors may still yield the prompt
(maybe wrapping a try/catch around the whole thing helps?). I'm worried
that we will in the future sign diagnostic scripts which could be loaded
onto MP machines in order to disable activation. I'll reluctantly move
this out to FRS as long as bug #3589 is fixed, but since this is a
activation security problem, I really want it fixed by MP.
