It could well be a time out issue. IIRC there was a discussion about this on
this list some time ago. Might be a mention in Core .pdf manual as well.

Subject: [REBOL] Rebol crashes reading NASDAQ symbol file


> I'm trying to read a symbol list from nasdaq.com. It is about a 2.5 meg
CSV
> file. Reading it from the web crashes Rebol, but reading it from the hard
> disk is OK. I have tried Rebol/Core and Rebol/View on 2 different
computers.
>
> This script NEVER works without crashing:
> REBOL[]
> nasdaq: read/lines
http://www.nasdaq.com/asp/symbols.asp?exchange=Q&start=0
>
> This script is OK:
> REBOL[]
> nasdaq: read/lines %nasdaq.csv
>
> Size seems to matter. The AMEX file is only about 500K and it reads OK
with
> the first script. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
>
> Thanks.
