The stacks may not have their destroystack property set to true. If 
destroystack is false (which is Rev's default) the stack is not active 
and not in the message path, but it isn't really closed either. It 
remains in RAM and I think the app browser still sees it.

Try this: Right-click on the stack name and choose "Close and remove 
from memory" from the contextual menu. If the stack goes away, that was 
the problem.

You can solve this a couple of ways. When closing your stack, use the 
"Close and remove from memory" option in the File menu to close the 
stack instead of just clicking the close box. Or easier, set your 
preferenes to make destroystack true for all newly created stacks. For 
existing stacks, set the destroystack property in the stack's inspector 
and save the stack. After that, clicking the closebox will completely 
remove it from memory automatically.

If destroystack isn't the problem, then I'm not sure what it could be.
