Ah, it didn't hit me until now.  This is very similar to the problem I
had then.  I didn't get any crash, but I got 2GB+ vm, which suggest the
problem is almost identical.

After weeks of trials and errors, my solution was to export to PM4 then
reimport to PM5.  I think PM5's indexing engine is a little too sensitive.
