Out of memory error on importing IATE subset...

Why do I get an "Out of Memory" error on trying to import an IATE EN-NL subset of (only) 628,946 kB on a system with a 1-TB SSD and 64 GB of RAM? I have a hard time believing that this is just another Windows limitation when I have no problem opening and editing the full IATE *.tbx file of 2,122,938 kB in a different application... Especially nowadays when *.tbx files are getting bigger and bigger, importing the subset on a system like this should be a breeze. And if, indeed, it is a Windows limitation, shouldn't this be a clear sign that it is high time that SDL (and other CAT tool publishers, as well) started working on porting their solutions/applications to other platforms, such as Apple Mac and Linux?

With thanks and best regards,

Nico.
