AW: crash when moving between stacks (again)

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hi Nicolas,
Perhaps you could try to add a "pass ..." at the end of all standard
handlers like open and close, so that the engine can catch them too.
Actually I don't know what is happening inside, but perhaps the engine still
wants to clean up some stuff, what it can't do without the pass?
