Is this sort of thing a bug?

I'm not sure how to file this - it is a fairly basic gotcha with object
references - I'd say it was a bug?
Put the following in the message box:
put the name of stack "revLibrary" into stackObject
> put the long name of stack "revSaving" of stackObject into buggyResult --
> bug as it return the main stack
> put the long name of stack "revSaving" of stack "revLibrary" into
> correctResult -- returns correctly
> put correctResult
> answer warning "Bug" && buggyResult

It's a case where storing the reference to an object in a variable - in this
case
put the name of stack "revLibrary" into stackObject
does not work constantly. Things like this make it hard to pass around
object references from handler to handler in a consistent way. Would you say
that was a bug?
