Hans,
I ran your problem on a Win95 Pent 166, with 32 mb ram Mma 3.0.
It took 0.83 seconds using the Timing command. The output file
was ~1.096 meg.
My guess is that you are running the kernel from the unix prompt. I am
not sure but I think you either exceeded your memory allocation or ran
out of memory. Unix is a tough OS and running the kernel from the unix
prompt is also tough.
