Yes, that's exactly the problem.

Right. It isn't normal, and we'd determined that the files were being 
written to the wrong stack. The problem is, we can't make it happen and 
no one is sure why it's only happening to Camm (and now to you.) When we 
reviewed his example stack, and tested on several machines, the files 
were written correctly and the standalone built fine. Those on the list 
who also tested it had no issues either. It's encouraging that you may 
be able to reproduce it, that would be very helpful.

I'm sure you are correct. If you can figure out what is different about 
your stack, and if it corresponds to something in Camm's stack, then we 
may be able to figure it out.

It would be interesting to see if you can build his sample stack. 
Perhaps you could get a copy from him (or ping me privately and I'll 
send it to you.)
