Actually, a 100,000 user import is one of the tests that we run regularly
before releasing  new builds,  and several  customers have  imported real
lists of 50,000 users or more. From  time to time we run a 1,000,000 user
import.

The macro could have done something wrong.

Did you *have* a personal password when  you started this, or did you use
the list password?
 
Anyway, it's  impossible to say much  about this without seeing  the full
log. You say that at some point  it started saying that you had the wrong
password. Well,  just before that  it probably said  something important.
Also, are you running LISTSERV off an NTFS partition?
