Standalone runs openstack & closestack b4 stack window appears

Bruce, have you tried using message watcher (or umbrellaman) to see 
the flow of messages? This should give you a clue what's going on. 
Something must be triggering those messages.

If there are substacks that are being open in that stack file, for 
example, they can trigger these messages.
