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?
