You may be right, I'd forgotten about the HCAddressing. That could 
explain a lot. The script editor rewrite is probably not handling that 
very well.

I did have several HC stacks that opened with missing pieces and 
truncated data, and needed to be re-compacted before moving them to Rev. 
But if the stack in question does open and does work, then your 
explanation sounds more likely.

I need to make a note of this...I don't have the fabled gigabyte memory. :)
