The kernel crashes when I do this:
1. Quit the kernel
2. Evaluate the following line, so that the kernel will start up:
data = ReadList[
"test.txt",
{Word, Real, Real, Number, Number, Number, Number}
];
test.txt contains 300,000 lines like this:
WORD 123.4 567.8 90 90 -1 -1
If the kernel is already running when this is evaluated, it will not
always crash (but sometimes it will).
This is on WinXP with Mathematica 7.0.1.
