The first thing I would try here is temporarily turning on Suppress Errors
and Suppress Messages in the Development menu. Then open the substack. If
it opens OK under those circumstances, open its script, and find and
comment out for the moment any openCard, preOpenCard, openStack,
preOpenStack, or openBackground handler. Then close it, turn off the
Suppress options, and open it again.

If it works, you now at least have the error narrowed down to something in
one of those handlers. You can remove the comments, line by line, and go
through each bit of the suspect handlers to figure out where the problem
might be.
