[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Recovering from Unexpected error 5454 -- help please!!

(Lets try this again...)


The dreaded "Unexpected error 5454" strikes.  Panic, doom and despair.

I have this large HC2.0v2 stack -- 2442 cards, 2.6 Mbytes -- and all
of a sudden the above error appears when trying to open certain cards.
These cards are numbered 586 to 931. Trying "go card n" where n is
between 586 and 931 causes the above error to appear.  (Well, I
haven't tried all of these numbers in between 586 and 931 but i have
tried about 10 or 15 randomly chosen ones in this range)

The stack then dies amidst horrible agony(mine).

Is there some way of recovering these cards?  what is error 5454
anyway?  I have already tried a stack called "Recover" which dies with
the same error upon encountering these cards.

Many thanks in advance for any and all help.
