crash when moving between stacks (again)

[Mike Bonner]

do you have a closestack handler on your navigation stack? If not, that
might be when this occurs.  you
close this stack
and it does, but theres no
on closestack (unless you didn't list it, or I missed it) at which point the
closestack message will hit your engine stack and shut everything down.
