Problems with delete stack

[Peter Haworth]

I tried wrapping the delete stack command in a try/catch but no error was
detected.

I also tried checking if the stack was in the mainStacks right after being
deleted and it's not.

I tried a wait command with various intervals right after the delete stack,
still same problem.

As mentioned in my original post, if I step through the code in the
debugger, everything works fine, at least most of the time.  Occasionally,
the debugger skips over several lines of code right after the delete stack
command.  I hate both those things!
