Right, it could happen, though up in those high ranges the odds are 
lower. But if your images are used only in your own plugin stacks then 
there is no problem because your plugin stack will be searched before 
the others. That's why IDs still work in multiple open stacks that all 
have an image with an ID of, say, 1005. The stack that needs the image 
will be searched first.

Most conflicts happen when an image is referenced from another stack, 
and the second conflicting image is in a stack that happens to be hit on 
first.
