Behaviour confirmed with these data.
What I think is happening is that
you are asking for more bars
than a -tabulate- internal to -hist-
can handle, although tha in turn is not
quite clear to me. Over to Stata Corp
for a fix, or a more graceful trap of
any limit.
For the moment
. spikeplot v4, by(v1)
may be close enough to what you want.
