Post From: SC Quits when Paste Large Formula into Spreadsheet Window

UPDATED (this section posted in new post below)

I though might be Possible INFINTE or Undeterminate Value in Formula.
It is not.
It's something strange.
Perhaps a circular reference, such as K3 referring to NOT L3 true, and vise versa.
Just adding one term:
L3=0
caused K then shut down the SC instance w/ no warning.

I did several tests, pasting a little at a time.
Nor has the problem anything to do with size-characters limit (althought these are big 2200 ch. forumlas).
I'm going to Post this part as a new post in this thread, so the disregard can be negated.
Will provide additional details as available.

This behaved same under 1382 as 1392.

I've seen this consistently now, when my K column formula gets up to about 2160 (est) characters, pasted into New Spreadsheets >> view window, when I hit "OK", that window closes, then .5 second later, my whole instance vanishes- gone.

I keep that window inside the spreadsheet view. That spreadsheet is not detached.

I only use NOTEPAD to avoid special characters, and it does not do this on smaller formulas.
This has only grown this big lately, so I think that may be the cause.
I do have line feeds at each condition, about 36 lines.

I can't use other columns to split the formula-- they're all used up as components of K, M, etc.
I shut down, reboot, even, but still same behavior.

Have I hit a formula characters limit? Any ideas?
Obviously I can't refine and develop on that while trading.
