Rev has created customized plist files for quite a while now. You 
shouldn't have to do anything except set the info in the Standalone 
Settings.

Probably no need, I don't think that's what's wrong. Conflicting IDs may 
display the wrong image but I don't think they crash. Missing images 
have never crashed for me either. But "bad" images have.

Looking at the crash log you posted, there does seem to be a problem 
with an image display, but I'm no expert on crash logs. Really what you 
need to do is run this past the team via a bug report. Crashes are never 
the fault of your script, all crashes are engine-related and need to be 
fixed. But it may be possible to work around the crash by re-scripting 
or by using a different image.

There used to be a crashing bug (I thought it was fixed now though) 
where a corrupted or non-standard image could bring down the engine. 
That might be what's happening here. The solution is to delete the image 
and re-import, preferably in a different format or else created by a 
different program. Some Photoshop jpgs gave me trouble once, but the 
same ones saved in Graphic Converter worked okay. Or try swapping jpgs 
for gifs, or vice versa.

Identifying the image may be the hard part though, and even if you can, 
it may not be what's wrong. If your scripts resize an image when the 
stack opens, that's the first image I'd look at. You could comment out 
any resizing commands and see if the crash stops.

Somebody here probably can read these crash logs better than I can, 
maybe they'll take a look.

I don't think so. I don't think this is ID-related anyway, I think the 
error is in the resizing command. Something about one of your images is 
choking the engine.
