When CLEAR WORKSPACE is performed, Splicer deallocates the memory which was allocated for the first dataset (Splicer uses dynamic memory allocation to manage very large datasets). Clearing the workspace can make Splicer unstable in cases when the user is frequently reading/clearing very large datasets (10's of thousands of data values). When splicer becomes unstable the program will close unexpectedly, but this occurrance generally very rare.
