Looking over this thread, I do not find any mention of checking your
available memory. I assume someone sent you that advice off list, but on
the remote chance no one did, what value do you get if you issue the
following on the command line?

VA/NV $M+6
If the number is large (mine is 1), you may be getting Out Of Memory
(OOM), and that can always cause problems. Do also look at the files in
List under HEX mode to be absolutely sure there is no 2- or 3-byte char
lurking there. Mine was in the stuff I was pasting (a snippet from the
Xy Registry, XPLNcoded). When there is a 3-byter, it reduces the size of
what else can be there; if there are no 3-byte chars, you can CLip
larger blocks.
