can't say "create stack" in a CGI?

[Phil Davis]

Thanks Jacque, Richard, Andre. Actually this is starting to be funny to 
me... I don't have any problem saving files in the directories where my 
script is doing its work; it's the 'create stack' command (actually 
"create inv stack ...") that hangs execution, which shouldn't have 
anything to do with file/directory access. Also, I can 'go invisible' to 
stacks on the server, using long or short names.

(Makes me think: What's an elephant like? Well, it's like a tree. No, 
it's like a wall! No...)

The malfunctions are occurring in the code of stacks in use, which live 
in a folder outside the reach of the HTTP server. It's in a Dreamhost 
account.

Some day I'll create some better test cases and try to find the bottom 
of this, and report anything that surfaces. Until then, thanks much for 
your responses and Happy Thanksgiving.

Phil
