This was stalled for four hours; I'll check back on it tomorrow and let you know if it finishes. The output file did not contain anything after FREQUENCIES (that is, nothing from LIST was output to the text file).

PSPPIRE:

Something must have been fixed because I could see all of the cases without truncation (however, at about 50k cases the scrolling stalled for about 20 seconds before allowing me to continue) or the spreadsheet blanking out.
This popped up when the scrolling stalled:

clean-temp.c:661
clean-temp.c:686 Opened C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp/psppZXyLpX/0 with mode wb+
src/libpspp/temp-file.c:110 Created tmpfile "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp/psppZXyLpX/0"; Stream 000007FEFF612B70
src/libpspp/temp-file.c:116 setvbuf result 0

However, FREQUENCIES on a single variable took about three hours to run, which is a lot longer than it takes on just a slightly smaller dataset. That output the correct number of cases, so it's better than before in that way.

I was able to get this error out of psppire:

(PSPPIRE.exe:12064): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_property_delete:assertion 'window !=NULL' failed

There may be other psppire errors; I'll run FREQUENCIES again to check.
