The test to check if the field is a stack is to be done if it is not a string. But the code had: } if (event->fields[i]->is_stack) { and not } else if (event->fields[i]->is_stack) { which would cause it to always be tested. Worse yet, this also included an "else" statement that was only to be called if the field was not a string and a stack, but this code allows it to be called if it was a string (and not a stack). Also fixed some whitespace issues.
