The problem is that we no longer create protocol properties pages for 
protocols whose only preferences are "obsolete" preferences (because 
they used to be settable preferences, but aren't any more - we make 
them "obsolete" preferences so you don't get warnings if they're left 
over in your preferences file from earlier releases), and the code was 
assuming we did; protocols after one with no page were not handled 
correctly.

I've checked in a change to redo the way we find the page for a 
protocol; it appears to fix the problem.
