Btrib,

I believe the CSV importer in release 3.3 is greatly improved over the old
importer.  However, being relatively new it probably has a few kinks
remaining to be worked out.

IT appears that you are trying to do a massive import from old files,
possibly without sufficient planning and testing  to ascertain the best
procedure for the task.

One thing for sure is to save the data files often and back up often.
