If a long reference works but a short one doesn't, that usually 
indicates that "this stack" isn't what you think it is. Some other stack 
is the defaultstack and doesn't have the same fields.

One way to track this is to put a debugging line of code into your 
openstack handler right before the line that errors:

   put the name of this stack

When the handler runs, look at the message box to find out what the 
engine thinks "this stack" is.
