No, being here shouldn't mean damage. At least not necessarily. You were already on this layout in reality, it's just that a Freeze Window command in the script prevented you from seeing it. Just hit command-1 to go back to home. As to why this happened in the first place, I'm not sure. My suspicion is that what you thought was the continuation of dup checking was really some household script attempting to make your requested modifications and failing, probably going around an endless loop. Don't have the time to check out the scripts right now, though. The one thing you might want to check out is that the householded record you were attempting to modify is still intact.
