Salut Franois,

I'm coming into this a little late; so forgive me if my comments are 
off target.

I have a handler that reads selected data from all stacks in a 
folder--1,648 in my real-world situation

As it finishes processing a stack, my export handler does:

	set the destroyStack of stack currentStackName to true
	close  stack currentStackName

This seems to be working fine for moi...am I missing somethng?
