What's With the Tilde After the Stack File Extension?

Hello everyone,

I was working on a stack today.  It has one substack.  Everything was going fine until I noticed that saving the stack was taking too long (it's small) and I was getting the spinning beach ball in Mac OS X.  I had the folder in which I store the stack open and noticed that during saving a duplicate file appears with tilde appended to the stack's extension as in stackName.rev~.  When saving is finally complete, the duplicate with the tilde disappears.  None of this happens with stacks that are working properly.  Does anyone know what the problem is?
