This one was so bizarre that I need to make sure I wasn't crazy.

Now *Bug 19042* <http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19042> - "save
as" reserves stack with same filename

"save as" would be my goto  for a workaround, but that obviously won't do
it . . .

maybe send a sequence to the shell to move the old stack to a new name,
then save, then another shell to rename the new stack, and another to move
the original back?
