Sounds like an opportunity for the gang here to come up with a fast way 
to parse the stack name.

Here's a starting point, which clocks in at 0.1349ms on a 1GHz G4:

function ObjStack pObj
   put the long id of pObj into tObj
   get offset(" of stack "&quote, tObj)
   delete char 1 to (it+10) of tObj
   get offset(quote,tObj)
   return char 1 to (it-1) of tObj
end ObjStack
