My students quite often run into stack corruption.  Most of the time it
can be traced to their being over their disk quota on the file server we
save the stacks to, but sometimes the stacks just corrupt.  I *never* had
this problem in ten years of teaching using HyperCard.

BTW, it would be *really* nice if RunRev would, as other apps do, give an
error message when trying to save to a disk that's over quota, instead of
just quietly corrupting the stack beyond recovery.
