savingStandalone Problem

[Peter Haworth]

I'm still trying to figure this out.  Here's the latest twist - the  
About dialog in the standalone, which uses the custom property,  
displays the correct version as entered in the prompt dialog during  
savingStandalone.  But the custom property I see in the IDE doesn't  
get updated.

I seem to remember seeing something about LC making copies of stacks  
when it builds a standalone, or I might be dreaming that.  If there  
are stack copies involved, could that have anything to do with this?
