Yet the same > script running in the standalone, fixes it? Could it be that in the dev environment, your stack is inheriting its 'effective' properties from a parent stack (or even from hte parent's parent)? And then when you make it into a standalone, the "family structure" changes and the baby stack no longer inherits its looks from the same source? (Notice I'm being very non-commital here.)
