I even tried base64encoding it first before putting it in the array key, but that does not seem to help. I may be running up on some kind of limit to array keys. Small UTF8 text files transfer no problem. Large binary files, BIG problem. (And yes I am using open file <filename> for binary read.)

It sounds like it’s time for a bug report Bob. If you can create a stack that demonstrates the issue it would be good to get it resolved.
