That this would be the case with stacks whose destroyStack property is
FALSE makes sense, but when a stack's destroyStack is TRUE this is
inconsistent with other behaviors we've come to expect from the engine.
Given that this has caused confusion for yourself, Jacque, Ken, myself,
and other experienced Rev programmers, it seems reasonable to request
that the destroyStack property be honored consistently, which I've done
in BZ#3937:
