My guess would be that the parser is trying to fail gracefully on an out of
memory condition - it "forgets" part of the stream then is confused when it
hits an unmatched closing tag.

But that's just a guess.  Could also be about crossing the dread 2GB file
size threshold.

It's almost certainly about largeness, though.
