You should probably debug it with it set up as a shell rather than a door.

After running bbs.select_shell(), your shell might need to exit. I haven't
tried using bbs.select_shell(), but in my shell I have a section where I call
bbs.user_config() to let the user change their configuration options. After
doing so, I check whether user.command_shell has changed, and if so, my shell
calls exit(0); so that it will exit, then it drops the user into their new
shell. I do a few other things around there, which may or may not be necessary
(I may have seen these in other shells):
var oldShell = user.command_shell;
bbs.user_config();
user.cached = false;
bbs.user_sync();
// If the user has chosen a different command shell, then exit
// out of this one.
if (user.command_shell != oldShell)
exit(0);
