Does it define a program? i.e. are there lines embedded within that go 

program <whatever> 

...

end 

or 

program define <whatever>

...

end 

???

Thanks Sergiy. Stata says nothing; the problem, specifically is that 
when I attempt to open the do-file, v10 Stata (fully updated) crashes 
(stops running, freezes, won't respond...) There are 3466 lines, so 
perhaps even approaching the limit of 3500 lines which you cite is 
the problem?
