Post From: SC hangs after about 50 backtests (Caused by custom study)

I'm running a lot of backtests in order to test certain variables. I'm using Sierra Chart Back Tester to help with automating the tasks. It works really nicely, except that SC always hangs around 50 backtests (somewhere between 45 and 55).

SC just gets stuck on a message like "Back Testing... 81% Press Escape To Cancel". Escape does nothing, but if I reload & recalculate the chart, everything comes back.

This has happened every single time it gets to around 50 backtests, over a dozen attempts in the last 2 days. At first I thought I was running out of RAM so I added 4 GB more, but that hasn't helped. Anyone have any ideas what causes this?
