SQLite 3.41.2 with Tcl interface on WIN 7 or on WIN 10 Pro

Not sure if is the same pb here, but we are fighting since 2 days with what seems an infinite loop resulting from a heavy (8 way join) INSERT query in a stable application, involved tables' shema unchanged etc.
This specific query did its duty without pb on SQLite 3.40 in 58 ms and has'nt finished running 3 hours later in 3.41.2 version (had to kill the process afer that delay)

From our obervations :

if the query is modified with "CROSS JOIN" operator instead of ", " join operator, the "infinite loop" disapear

if the original query is simplified to be an only 7 way join (suppressing one table in the FROM clause, in various combinations) the "infinite loop" disapear

We wrote a simplified demo script with a 8 way join using ", " operator but unable to reproduce

When quitting the application, "PRAGMA analysis_limit = 400" and "PRAGMA dbfile.optimize" are run in the exit process but change nothing (involved tables are in "dbfile") : after re-launching the application, the "infinite loop" is still there

However, if "ANALYZE" is run, then the "infinite loop" disapear

To give a more precise idea of this sole query suddenly having a pb among hundreds queries, below is its copy & paste verbatim (not nice, sorry for this) :

db1 eval
"INSERT INTO Bulletins0 ( $TotChampsCibles )

   AND Tsal.RegimeCOT = '$res(RegimeCOT)'
   AND Tsal.AgeSalarie <= ifnull(nullif(Tsal.Sexe,2) * $res(AgeMax1), $res(AgeMax2))

                                                   WHEN 4 THEN RecapMens2.RefContrat  = Tsal.RefContrat
       END

    WHERE Bulletins0.NPS = 2"


When stwitched from SQLite version 3.41.2 back to 3.40, the problem disapear
