Include file in spectre

I have a very simple question.
I am trying to include a file in spectre. I have the simplest setup possible.
I am using an empty netlist (only entry is simulator lang=spectre) and using a stimulus file, where I have only one include statement:
include "RefClk.txt"
The RefClk.txt file has a pwl voltage source in spectre syntax (simulator lang=spectre at the top of the file).
The issue is this: When I have a very low number of time/voltage pairs (e.g. 50) then the file is included and the simulation completes correctly.
When I try to include a more realistic pwl waveform with ~1000 time/voltage pairs, the simulations hangs.
Has anyone seen anything like that?
Thanks.

Hi Andrew, you were right, I relaxed the simulation settings and it worked.

I had used the same simulation in a different environment/company, so the simulation settings were legacy.

Thanks for your help.
