Hmm. No one else has answered and I'm not sure how much I can help with the
problem without understanding the nature of the machine exception better --
whether it was an access violation or what.

My only guess is the interpreter is somehow running out of memory or swap or
something, or somehow the interpreter got hold of a bad address and either tried
to access it or free it.

Which version of Euphoria are you using? Which interpreter are you running --
ex.exe, exw.exe, or exwc.exe?
