Puzzled about stack size

Hi Jim,

No answers, but some thoughts:

* Does the db stack contain externals?

* Does it incorporate a large image or clip?

* Does it incorporate a small image that accidentally had its rect reset?

* Have you opened the stack in the Application Browser and checked 
the list of controls on each card...including the size of their 
scripts?

* If you open & close the stack without adding anything to it, does 
stack size remain static or grow?

If none of that helps, is it feasible to open the stack, delete a 
card or group, close the stack, check stack size, and repeat the 
process until you see a dramatic change in stack size?  Then you 
could go back to the card or group you deleted and repeat the process 
deleting one control at a time.  It's tedious, I know, but it should 
isolate the source of the problem.  Perhaps you could write a script 
that would automate the process?
