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.  :-)
