[REBOL] Rebol crashes reading NASDAQ symbol file

From: ddharing::mindspring::com at: 30-May-2002 21:47

I'm trying to read a symbol list from nasdaq.com. It is about a 2.5 meg CSV file. Reading it from the web crashes Rebol, but reading it from the hard disk is OK. I have tried Rebol/Core and Rebol/View on 2 different computers. This script NEVER works without crashing: REBOL[] nasdaq: read/lines http://www.nasdaq.com/asp/symbols.asp?exchange=Q&start=0 This script is OK: REBOL[] nasdaq: read/lines %nasdaq.csv Size seems to matter. The AMEX file is only about 500K and it reads OK with the first script. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Thanks.
