Crazy imageData

My stacks do some moving of imageData between main stacks.
The code seems to break, randomly, but with regularity. I think I have
the issue resolved, it works fine for a while, then suddenly doesn't
work... with no changes to any of the related code. It looks like this
-
PUT the imageData of image ID 1018 of stack "Button Icons" into
tClearImage
set the imageData of image "ThumbNail" of card tClipSelected of
stack "CurrentP" to tClearImage
*Sometimes* this will work a hundred times in a row. Then, it will
suddenly fail, and fail every time after that.
A little more info -
image ID 1018 of stack "Button Icons" is an imported JPG, but I've
tried PNG, and GIF with the same results.
When it fails, the image is pure black.
"Button Icons" is a substack of my main app.
"CurrentP" is a mainstack, loaded by my main app as a resource.
It seems to me that although I have the paths right, it can't find the
proper image?? The fact that it works *sometimes* but not always is
just weird, as computers usually make the same mistakes consistently.
Could this have something to do with the defaultStack? I didn't think
so, as I'm not using "this stack" anywhere, and I explicitly define the
stack names.
Any pointers? Thanks.
