Looking more closely at what's going on here it appears you are correct.

What I'm seeing with an empty stack and your script is that clicking on 
the Maximize Box reverses the width & height of the stack on WinXP.

This is _not_ the response I get when clicking the Maximize Box on MS 
applications like WordPad & NotePad: in those cases the Window grows to 
full screen size or shrinks back to "normal" size.

So is there a bug in Rev's Maximize Box logic for Windows?  It 
certainly seems so to moi...especially since the behavior on MacOS is 
different.
