10.2.x, Script Debugger fails to compile large scripts. When attempting to

I'm not sure if that's the same bug, or a different one, that prevents
compilation in Script Debugger mode with medium-size scripts considerably
shorter than the ones that don't compile in regular AppleScript mode. In
fact the description of the "32765 style runs" sounds more like the Debugger
mode bug. Chris Espinosa recently gave a completely different reason for the
long-script AppleScript mode bug, relating to "parts of speech" and some
low-level instruction that was flipped (recently, I think, not
long-standing). And I had specifically tested that bug after removing ALL
formatting styles, and it made no difference.
So someone (MacFixit, probably) has got confused and given the right
explanation for the wrong bug, I think. Awaiting further elucidation and -
eventually - TWO fixes.
