Standalone runs openstack & closestack b4 stack window appears

I have a single-stack rev project in which the stack script has both 
an openstack handler and a closestack handler. Doesn't sound that 
unusual, does it? However, when compiled as a standalone with Rev 2.5 
under Mac OS 9.1,  _both_ the openstack _and_ closestack handlers run 
before the stack window appears. Then, once the stack window appears, 
the openstack handler runs _again_!

There are not other openstack or closestack handlers in the stack. I 
checked the documentation to see if this was normal, but could not 
find anything. I worked around this problem by testing for the 
existence of the stack window in the openstack handler, and changing 
the closestack handler to a closestackrequest handler.

Does anyone have an inkling why a closestack handler would run upon 
starting a standalone, and why an openstack handler would run twice?
