Caveat on save script only stack --> went to standalone

Not a caveat. It's a full blown bug. I ran into that compiling apps too. I build for one platform at a time and quit between each build to prevent it. I reported it and filed a bug report, but I do not think anything was ever done about it. If I don't I get messages when I do the second build that there are stacks with the same name that need to be purged. That means that the stack being opened is NOT THE SAME STACK as the one in MEMORY!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Hope someone looks into this.
