Purge Loop--Destroy Stack no working?

[Sivakatirswami]

OK, I removed object gadget, but my point was that, I tested with  
your suite entirelyl disabled (removed completely from the REv app  
folder) and I was still getting the request to purge stacks in memory  
that should have been destroyed on Close, but were not. The  
difference being that I only got it once and if I clicked purge, it  
worked... (vs the loop I would get with Constellation loaded *even if  
object gadget was not open*)
