Strange indeed. Thanks for the alert.

I've successfully translated a handful of Signal data files, some large, some small,
so I've always thought it was okay.

In fact, it was better than okay. My old big 3.5 data file had some sort of corruption in it, I think, that would cause my Server to come out with CTree errors every time I tried to copy data out at the end of the day without first shutting down and restarting the Server.

Now that data is converted over to 4.0 format, and I'm actually running 4.0, this problem has gone away.
