Ok, that's probably why I got the execution error with all but the negative numbers.

I never said I set it to 0. I was trying to because the original poster said they were getting 0 ids. Any number between 0 and the current stack id will cause an execution error. I was trying to replicate it but I couldn't. But I did find the negative number thing which is weird although probably not worth fixing considering you would have to be an idiot to set the stack id to a negative number and expect everything to work right.
