I did exactly what you mentioned... tried subset of these documents and
found out there were some junk non-txt files which were causing this issue.
Everything worked fine with dirsource once I deleted them from the dir.
But I feel these functions should also tell what file they are failing
at.... I have ended up debugging with sub sets of input one too many times.
