To be precise: what's happening is that when you do a GOSUB, filepro
adds a 'frame' to a stack, which contains information about where to go
back to when you hit return.  That stack was expanded to permit 64
active frames in 5.0.  Certain actions discard the current contents of
the stack, thus saving you from the effects of bugs which leave
unplanned frames on the stack.

WISHLIST: @GD - Gosub Stack Depth

and, maybe, display it in the debugger, too?
