Weird. Maybe you've found a bug? There have been issues like that
with ambigous grammars before, but I thought I'd resolved them 
once and for all the last time... The grammar size definitely
should not have any effect, as Grammatica should be able to handle
large grammars without issues.

If this happens consistently, please send me the grammar file so
that I can have a look at it. Feel free to use my private mail if
you prefer.

Cheers,
