I'm pretty sure this behavior is specific to your stacks. I can't 
remember anyone on the list ever mentioning it. I've never seen it.

You may have externals running that you aren't aware of. Many of the rev 
libraries are actually externals. If you have to turn off messages 
before closing a stack, it usually means something is running. You could 
look in the pendingMessages queue in the message box and see if there is 
anything there. Turn on IDE messages too if you don't see anything in 
the default view.

Does this happen only with one stack? Can you quit normally with a new 
stack?
