That 10.7.24 field is supposed to be a single field, but it’s actually 164,560 copies of the field on top of each other. Reducing that to one copy fixes the problem. Here’s a copy of the file:

The file is still a demanding one, taking over 3 GB of memory to get it to open. But at least it opens now, before it was using 300 GB of memory, and then locking up the system.
