This is just a note to anyone who gets the same error reported in
this thread.

The issue stems from a Unidata-specific bug (more like a well
intended design flaw) with the way the CHANGE() and SWAP()
functions handle substitutions of large strings, which is exactly
what our NebulaXLite product does to create XML-based
spreadsheets.  IBM has created a fix which should be in the next
release.

Big thanks go to Wally Terhune and the IBM team for their efforts
on this, as well as to our client (can name himself if he wishes,
I'm intimidated by email disclaimers. ;)  ) for working closely
with Nebula R&D as we created and tested workarounds to get
around the issues.
