The debugger freezes at create card "new"

The TD docs say that the card name is optional. Also try this:

new card
put the name of it
see: card id 1051

The docs incorrectly say that the name of the card is empty, but it's 
actually set with the abbrev id of the card.

I don't know HC or SC

The mystery is it seems to be legal code, but the debugger freezes on 
it.
