I've written some software in C++ that queries data from the server. If I
try to execute any query that returns more than 64K of data (tic data for a
day for a heavily traded stock or 1min chart for more than one day), the
server pops up a message box that says "Query exceeds 64K." or words to that
effect. As luck would have it, 1min bars for a stock (6 and a half hours)
and 1min bars for SP* (6 and three-quarters hours) just BARELY fit into 64K.
If one day's worth of 1min bars for stocks or futures were any bigger, Omega
would probably have been forced to fix this problem.

True, sort of... It turns out that one *can* plot a 1-tick chart for ES
during the day, even though there are more than 13k ticks. TS seems to
'stream' them through charting OK.
If I try to open that chart during non-trading hours I get an error msg
from the server that prevents me from doing it. This error does NOT crash
TS, though, and I'm able to go to the chart, change to 2 ticks, and open
the page. As soon as the ES market starts trading again Sun eve, I can
change back to 1 tick. I can run all week OK in this 1-tick mode with no
changes, even though EVERY day has more than 13k ticks.
This same error might be the cause of the crash during market hours.
Because it crashes, I CAN NOT go back to make the 2-tick change, and thus
I CAN NOT open the page. Sort of a chicken and egg problem :-).
Any thoughts (other than admonish me for trying a 'work around' cheat
for TS :-)?
