Stacks whose names start with "rev"

[J. Landman Gay]

Thanks very much Monte, that's exactly what I wanted to know. For simple 
editing it sounds like I could just turn off messages, open the stack from 
Finder, and turn messages back on, bypassing preOpenStack entirely. If that 
doesn't work you've given me a couple of other things to try.

I'd still like to know the reason for the bizarre error warning, but one 
thing at a time. It was odd but wasn't a blocker.
