Dear Cindy:
You would have that situation when you have a recursive macro or something close to that. Likewise two includes including each other could cause it. When the volume of source code is too big, the activation does not make it on time. It takes a LOT of source code though, which is why I assume some recursion or explosion of lines. Under certain circumstances, you could generate a syntax error at run time in 3.x, which is the equivalent to an activation error in 4.x.
It is hard to find out the exact reason from what you said though. Did you try it again? Did you try it in off-peak hours where the system is a bit faster? Did you see whether other programs got recompiled? Are those the same ones when you retry or different ones? If different, keep trying - maybe it is just the volume of regenerations.
I hope that one of my guesses helps.
Regards,
Wolfgang
