Polling is entirely possible. delete stack is very reliable. Like I  
said, I've never had it fail. When it *appears* to fail it is usually  
because something is going on in the background that brings the stack  
right back into memory.

The external issue may be an exception. If you get a recipe then we  
can confirm.
