It would be interesting to get a recipe for that.  I've not had that 
problem here, but I don't doubt that you did.  Are you sure you've saved 
the stack after the name was changed?

Maybe they're promoting Rev the way I promote California:  I really like 
it here, but when I talk with folks back east I always complain about 
the floods, fires, riots, and earthquakes, hopefully keeping the actual 
good living we have here a well-kept secret. :)

Rev represents an unbeatable ROI proposition that almost guarantees 
higher margins through lower development costs than is possible with 
nearly any other tool.  Heck, if everyone were using it my clients would 
lose a ten-to-one advantage over their competition (I love being able to 
resolve a support issue by sending a custom build - it only takes a 
second with automated standalone building, but it's beyond what the 
competition could hope to acheive). By embedding demo-killing 
anti-features, our consultancies remain even more competitive. :)

But seriously, if you can get recipes for those put 'em in Bugzilla. 
I've been blown away by the progress made on bug fixes over the last 
several weeks, so I have high confidence that issues like these can be 
resolved.
