Fixed, but still mystified.

Apparently if you attempt to register a Rev app (whether it's named MC 
or Rev), it will screw with the home stack.  In Rev apparently this 
isn't a problem, but with my MC Home stack it was.

I replaced my MC Home stack with a backup and now I'm back in business.

Note:  NEVER NEVER NEVER register from within MC.  ALWAYS register in 
Rev first.

Damn.  An hour lost.   Oh well, I've had worse....
