Actually, This is not likely to be the problem.  I arbitrarily  
split the 25 MB file into two 12.5 MB files which perfed like a  
charm.  The instrument density throughout the score file is also  
relatively consistent.  In addition, the soundfile would have been  
generated up to the point at which the number of instrument copies  
exceeds the limit (at least, this has been the case when I have  
exceeded the limit in the past).

Any other ideas regarding this problem?  (Not really a major  
problem, just was a slight inconvenience to split up the score into  
two files before perfing)
