The debugger works perfectly with PUSHKEY. At one point, it didn't.  Since
many years and versions back into 5.0 and maybe even 4.8, it was fixed
because it was such a hassle to test things just like this.

I agree that the stylistic changes should be made.... Certainly the SPACES
should be removed, that isn't even stylistic, that is the only right way to
do it. But, if it has worked and that is the key piece of information...
Then I also think it must be that BREAK has been turned off somewhere with
BREAK OFF.  Or, the @key itself has been contraverted somehow.
