Source of corruption

I had posted earlier about a stack I use that became neurotic. If launched in a new session from the finder, no problem. But if closed,
it could not be reopened in the same session. The "stacks" showed no reference to it at all soemtimes, though at other times it was
indeed listed, albeit still not visible. In those cases I could get and set its loc and other properties, I just could not see it.


Lately it had become intermittantly corruptible, with a dialog telling me so, and recomending using a back-up copy. In those cases it would not even
 open with a fresh start, and I had to trash it and start over with a backup. Thank you, Mozy.


It turns out that the stack had inexplicably had its mainstack reference changed to another stack. Resetting this back
to itself (there is only one stack in the file) seems to have fixed everything. Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? It might be a
useful tidbit. I was beginning to think there was a stability issue with LC itself, though none of my other stacks have any problems.
