Okay, that wasn't a good example, sorry. :-( I tried to simplify the thing
I was doing that was causing the problem, and I made it *too* simple. Darn.
Okay, let me try again. (Bullwinkle voice: "This time for sure!") Make
getThis go as follows instead:

  local (pta = html.getpagetableaddress());
  script.newscriptobject("return this", @pta^.weirdness);
  return pta^.weirdness()

Now, I claim *that* works when rendering statically but not when rendering
dynamically. m.
