Hi,
  How large is the trajectory file you're loading?
Did you load the file locally, or was this over a Samba mount,
or something of that sort? If you haven't copied the file locally,
I'd recommend doing that prior to trying to load it, as there are
various bugs with old versions of Samba and large files. (>= 2GB)
