More Standalone Building Weirdness...

[Paul Dupuis]

The stack where building a Windows Standalone just stays on "Attaching 
Engine..." forever had no 'closeStack' handlers at all.

I added the following:

on closeStack
    -----------------build close issue----------
    if the environment is "development" and \
          there is a stack "revStandaloneProgress" and \
          the mode of stack "revStandaloneProgress" > 0 then
       exit closeStack
    end if
    ---------------------------
    pass closeStack
end closeStack

An there was no change in behavior. Under LC960 (I have not tried other 
versions), it builds the standalone, but then just remains on "Attaching 
engine..." and I have to force LC to exit.

If no one else has seen anything like this, then it is probably 
something about the stack. I don't have problems building other 
standalones in LC960.
