You will need to provide us with a bit more context.  As you can see
with a normal function like 'print', the code operates as expected:

> slot_tbl = {"ONE", "TWO", "THREE"}
> for k,v in pairs(slot_tbl) do
>>   print(k, v)
>> end
1	ONE
2	TWO
3	THREE

What could be happening is that the portcardlog function is erroring,
causing whatever the overall handler is to exit.  For example:

> function exitfunc(...)
>> print(...)
>> os.exit()
>> end
> slot_tbl = {"ONE", "TWO", "THREE"}
> for k,v in pairs(slot_tbl) do
>> exitfunc(k, v)
>> end
1	ONE

Please give us some more information, if you can.
