[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Error Opening a HC 2.0 stack

Hi, I have a HC 2.0 (not 2.0v2) stack that was recently created.
I can't open it now, and I thought that someone might be able to
give me a little direction on what's wrong with it. Thanks in advance.
  
It is a stack with 2 cards, and has a large card rect (~11"x11", or
792x792 pixels).  Each card has lots of paint on it, since 1-bit scanned
images were pasted into each from the Clipboard.  The stack was fine
after it was created and the paint was pasted in.  But then it was mailed
to me over America Online.  After downloading it from within my mail
message on AOL, I get a HC error trying to open it on my SE/30 (8MB, big
heap space, plenty of memory to HC - no shortage here!).  The error is:
  Can't open stack "<stackname>".  File system error -108
  
The Finder flags and data and resource forks all look okay to me.
ResEdit 2.0b2 thought that the file was kinda messed up - it gave me a dialog
warning me if I continue.  I knew ResEdit had GOOD File System checking
when it tried to open files - it found something this time, as expected.
The file looks okay to Fedit Plus and 1st Aid HFS, but SOMETHING's wrong...
Has anyone run across something like this before?  Can anyone help me
bring this stack, or at least the bitmaps, back to life?  How about error
code -108?  Much thanks!

Even though you have pletny of RAM, I expect your MF memory partion for 
HyperCard is set at the factory setting orf   1MB. Increase it to 1300-1500
and your stack will open fine.
Good luck.
