macrospace is a means of loading programs into storage and keeping
them there that dates from the OS/2 1.x days.  The loaded code is
stored in the rxapi process, so the data needs to be retrieved via a
cross-process call each time you use it.  ::requires works much better
as an optimization because everything is held directly in memory.

The stack trace was a red herring....the call in question was just
querying to see if the function getting called was present in the
macrospace.

I believe you mentioned that this is a multi-threaded application.  It
is possible that this is not the thread that had the exception.  There
should be a stack entry for each active thread in the application.
