MC hosed

I was happily working away in MC, then I shut down and rebooted into my
Leopard install.  Tried to open MC, it asked for reg info.  Fair enough,
I thought, since I hadn't run MC over on that partition in several builds.

So I entered my reg info, and MC started to start, then quit.  I tried
again, same thing.  Rev, however, launches fine.

So I rebooted into my normal OS X 10.4.11 partition, and tried to open
MC. Now it won't launch there either.

Damn.  I have a lot of work to do.

Any clues as to how I can get MC running again?  WTF went wrong?

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....
