Hideous "revdberr,invalid database type" returns in standalones

[Frank D. Engel, Jr.]

Computers can be strange sometimes.  I had tried the console before for 
debugging info, and it wasn't being all that helpful.  Now I tried it 
with the "Mark" button, and for some reason the standalone actually 
worked!  Go figure.

Now I am building standalones which work under OS X, but a few seconds 
after I click the "OK" button in the box telling me that the standalone 
was saved successfully, the Rev IDE crashes.  According to the console, 
it quit upon receiving a signal 11.  Hmm....

At any rate, I also had a small problem whereby an unexplained black 
bar showed itself across the bottom of my stack window immediately 
after the standalone opened.  Switching to another card was enough to 
get rid of it, and after switching back it was no longer there.  I 
still can't figure out why this happened, but a small workaround, in 
case anyone else experiences the problem, is to put code like this in 
your preOpenStack handler:

lock screen
go to card <a different card>
go to card <the first card, or whichever one you want>
unlock screen


This is not happening consistently across multiple stacks, so I am not 
sure if it is just a random thing or if 2.5 is reacting to something 
strange about my particular stack, or what, but that code seems to work 
for me anyway.
