Details:

There's a report at
http://www.chronovault.net/websites/tobi/researchID/results
Which gives a link to 2 spss system files.

I downloaded each of them, and did
GET /FILE='survey_data...sav'.
LIST.

The list command gets stuck in an infinite loop.

Brief investigation showed the offending loop is at data-out.c:1235
which says:
  /* Normally we only go through the loop once; occasionally twice.
     Three times or more indicates a very serious bug somewhere. */
  for (;;)
    {
    .
    .
    .
    }

In view of this comment, I'm marking this problem as Severity:9
