A bug was fixed recently where rather large programs (many thousands of lines)
such as yours might have invalid line number info on the error trace-back,
or might even crash without any error traceback (ex.err file) in some cases.

Make sure you are using the very latest 1.5 alpha-3 Complete Edition
ex.exe that I put on the Web two days ago. Type: ex
to see the version number. All earlier versions of Euphoria have the bug.

Now, if you bind your program, you will bind with the alpha-1 PD ex.exe
which still has the bug. So if you get a Euphoria error running your .exe
you might get the problem anyway. I will upload a new PD 1.5 alpha release
to the Euphoria Web page later today (Saturday) containing a new PD ex.exe for
you to bind with.

This should all be cleared up on approximately Feb 14. when a full
1.5 *beta* release, both PD and Complete is released.
