That's a known error, but one I haven't been able to find the cause of
yet; it also chokes on very long name files (like japanese.nam) for a
reason I don't understand either. However, version 2.0 (when/if it'll get
finished :) will use a different way of reading the names from the file,
which hopefully will take care of the problem altogether.
