Yes, it is normal if there are substacks - the stack's filename will 
appear once for each main stack or substack in the file. Quote: "The 
file paths of substacks are included, but the stack names themselves 
are not. This means that if more than one stack in a file is open, 
that file's path appears more than once in the list returned by the 
stacks function."

It really ought to be called the stackFiles function, except that 
name is already taken by the stackFiles property. ;-)

(You might want to look at the openStacks and revLoadedStacks 
functions also - they might come closer to what you need.)
