Hmmm - I *need* to buy a Mac Mini to check that out. Don't I ? :-)

Yes, I see that problem too, thanks. I have a theory about it, but it 
doesn't quite convince me .....

The library stack is - for my development purposes - a separate stack, 
in a separate file. Since that would cause problems for RevOnline (and 
to a lesser extent for Dreamcard Player), I moved the library stack into 
the main file (as a sub-stack) to do the release. I think that when you 
open the library stack, RR is sending an "openstack" - the library stack 
has no such handler but because it is now a proper sub-stack, the 
application's "opencard" handler is in the path, so it is being run 
instead.  ?!

Is that what would happen ?
If so - what's the standard technique to deal with it ?  
  An empty "openstack" handler ?
  And should there, therefore, also be empty "preopenstack", "opencard", 
etc. handlers in any library stack, least it become a sub-stack and 
subsequent;y cause a problem like this ?
