Mark-

Thanks muchly for the longish explanation.
The main problem, as I see it, is the lack of any context for what the 
buttons do when that dialog appears. My reading of the reloadStack code 
more or less agrees with your explanation above, although there seem to 
be extra calls to "delete stack" which still don't give me warm fuzzies. 
I do what everyone else does when that dialog appears: panic, quit and 
restart.

Maybe a different dialog that explains what the various options do?
