Same problem today, but with a much smaller file (30 instead of 200,000
blocks). I loaded it into TECO then exited, then deleted the extra
blank lines with a TECO learn sequence. Still some problem. I then
went to the post-TECO file and noticed that a few lines had been broken
at the wrong place (they are supposed to be all the same length). I
fixed those by hand with EDT (not possible with 100 MB), then TPU again.
In the end there was still something not 110% correct, but I could still
use the file so all is well now. :-)
