When Rev closes a stack, it doesn't remove it from memory unless you 
have set the destroystack property to true. After importing your HC 
stack, open the Stack Inspector (from the Objects menu) and click the 
checkbox called "purge stack on close". This will remove it from RAM 
when you close the stack, and should free up memory so you can open 
another one.
