We have a large (1437K) stack which suddenly (i.e. one minute it was fine,
the next minute it died) causes HC to puke with 
"Unexpected Error 1834" whenever we try to open the stack.  It doesn't
die, however, until it gets to the normal HyperCard "idle" time.  That is,
it performs all the opencard, openstack, etc. stuff and then dies; or,
if we do a command-period while it's opening, it dies immediately.
We do not have any idle handlers in the stack.  
If anyone can suggest a way to recover our data (several hours since last
backup), we would much appreciate it :-)
And I would like to know what the heck went wrong in the first place!!
Thanks.
