You may be right, I'd forgotten about the HCAddressing. That could
explain a lot. The script editor rewrite is probably not handling that
very well.
I did have several HC stacks that opened with missing pieces and
truncated data, and needed to be re-compacted before moving them to Rev.
But if the stack in question does open and does work, then your
explanation sounds more likely.
I need to make a note of this...I don't have the fabled gigabyte memory. :)
