Broken: 2.78 (sub 0), branch: master, commit date: 2017-02-24 14:33, hash: e92f235283, type:

Worked: -

Applying the boolean modifier based on a flat cube to subtract a 2D array of cylinders to leave a grid, it works as expected with a few cylinders, but not with many (number >256).

The attached blender file contains "Gitter Bohrungen" that shall be subtracted from "Gitter" (grid).

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Create a boolean difference modifier for "Gitter" using "Gitter Bohrungen". Blender deadlocks and gets inoperable.

I don’t know what you expect here, trying to use booleans in such extreme and unrelevant ways… That kind of operation should be done with a few items, and then using e.g. an array modifier to replicate as much as needed…

Anyway, we do not handle user support on this tracker, only bug reports. User forums like blenderartists.org or blender.stackexchange.com should be used for that matter.
