Error saving standalone -- revisited yet again

I never use the single-byte <>, <= or >= versions in any of my scripts. 
  I just checked the only other script I may have added from an outside 
source since this last worked, and they are clean.

I tried suppress messages and save standalone, no good.

I then made an exact copy of the stack (using the Finder), opened that 
copy in Rev, tried saving that as a standalone.  Still not working.

Next, I tried commenting out the savingStandalone, preOpenStack, 
openStack, closeStackRequest, shutdownRequest, and closeStack handlers 
in my mainstack, along with the preOpenCard and openCard handlers in 
the first card of that stack (I'm working with the copy).

I then saved the stack, quit Rev, reopened the stack, turned on Supress 
Messages, and tried saving the standalone.

Same unhelpful error.  Needless to say, this is getting rather 
frustrating.  The stack represents several months worth of work.  There 
are 40 substacks, one of which has 42 cards (the mainstack has 8 
cards).

The mainstack's script got to be so long I broke it down by adding a 
backscript via a field on the first card (it is added by the 
preOpenStack script which I commeted out -- that's why I quit Rev 
before trying to build again).

That backscript got to be so long I forked off a *second* backscript, 
so that there are now two backscripts: one with 838 lines, and one with 
803 lines.  The mainstack script still has 473 lines , and some of the 
cards on my mainstack have scripts with line counts like 889 and 807... 
some of the substacks have scripts of over 200 lines, and a few of 
their cards have scripts on the order of 100+ lines.  And these are 
just the stacks and cards!  Some of the controls also have scripts of 
several hundred lines each.

Needless to say, I can't really afford to lose this stack.  I have 
backup copies, but with this level of complexity, backing up even a 
step or two could be rather costly, and if the same problems occur...


Okay, one more thing I thought to try: I have a number of externals I'm 
using, some of them are custom ones (that I built).  Rev crashes every 
time I build a standalone from a stack using certain externals (after 
displaying the message that the standalone was successfully saved, or 
now this error), and this is one of those stacks.

I tried setting the externals of the copy (the one with all of the 
handlers commented out) to empty, quitting Rev, and repeating the 
process.  Rev thinks about it a little longer now, but still comes back 
to the same error message. At least this time it didn't crash 
afterwords ;-)

The destination folder (the folder created during the save process) is 
still not created.
