I haven't seen this particular problem, but almost every crash I've ever 
had with an imported HC stack has happened because the original was not 
thoroughly compacted in HC first before being imported into Rev. I don't 
suppose that helps you much, since it's a little late to do that in this 
case. HC wrote a lot of junk to stacks that needs to be removed before 
an import can be successfully accomplished, and sometimes the problem 
doesn't show up until later when you try to do something that needs to 
read that particular portion of the binary.

Not much help, I know.
