I'm having a problem with a stack I wrote for a client (and one they feel is now done). As I noted in a post the other day, I was having temporary problems calling bg funcs from a stack script. As several people correctly pointed out, this does not work (unless you are "go"-ing within a script, and have built a 'dynamic path'; this is not the case here). My big problem is that the non-functioning of this technique was the anomaly: up until then (for weeks/months) it worked fine, and has since then: I can call bg funcs from my stack script. I can step thru in the HC debugger and see it calling bg funcs from my stack script (again, with no "go" command, so no dynamic path). What gives? My stack -- with the temporary problem I was having the other day -- works great. But it shouldn't. Stack corruption? How would that enable HC to ignore the message hierarchy? HC corruption? I tried it with a copy of HC off the disk from Claris, but same deal. Machine? It works on other machines too. I'm stumped. And unhappy. I -- and my client -- had thought the stack was done. It's now 22 MB (!) and would be a pain to rebuild from scratch. And I'd be keen to know what's going on in any case. This is with HC 2.0v2 BTW. Any advice much appreciated!
