I think it will depend on when you check. Logically it would go
something like this:
1. New stack is made: name is a long ID number, owner is empty
2. New stack is given a name: either a passed parameter or "Untitled",
owner is empty
3. New stack is assigned as a substack: owner is mainstack
I wonder if messages are locked while the naming and owner assignment
are going on so you aren't getting all of them. How/when do you check
the name?
