Subject: dBase III+ INDEX UNIQUE bug???

The other day, when playing around with the INDEX UNIQUE command, dBase III+
(version 1.0) locked up on a large file.  I could always reproduce the problem
on the same file, but calling INDEX UNIQUE on smaller (and sometimes larger)
files didn't cause the problem.  Symptom -- I would get the little "odometer"
claiming 2% indexed, 5% indexed, and somewhere along the way it would stop
and never come back.

Has anyone out there experienced this problem, or know what brings it on?
