Probably not helpful, but I've had issues for a long time with delete stack not removing it from RAM, over several releases of LC. It usually manifests itself when I "save as", followed by a "delete stack", followed by opening the original stack, at which point I get the dreaded message about "duplicate stack names and what do I want to do" message.
That may be a clue. I set the filename of the newly created stack, save it to disk, and then delete it, which is what "save as" does too. So maybe it's linked to that.
The odd part is that it has worked for 2 years and suddenly stopped working, even though the script hasn't changed and the LC version is the same. Also, if we step through the process in the debugger, the stacks are removed correctly. It's only when the script runs without pause that it fails, and even then only sporadically.
I'll try saving the stack earlier in the process and see if that makes a difference. Maybe it only gets removed from RAM if the OS has had time to register the new file in its database. That sounds like a stretch to me, but it's all I can think of.
