Infinite loop when trying to bind large files

[UNIVAC-Colonel-Panic]

Windows 11. The temporary output file created exceeded 40GB before I canceled the process with ctrl-c.

Three files at 5 hours each and fourth at 3.25 hours. The combined total of all input files is about 1GB:

Sorry for the late reply. I was not aware that you opened up a ticket, I must have missed the notification. Do you have any chance to provide a file for inspection? As a first idea it looks like that there is some self-referencing in the frame processing. I've never encountered this.

As you can see from my directory listing, the files are quite large. I'm not comfortable uploading to a public server. Suggestions?
