Text files (which is what all uncompressed Poser files are) use 'special characters' to denote line endings. In the Windows/DOS world, CR+LF (0x0D+0x0A) is the two character sequence that does this. In Mac world, CR (0x0D) is the one character sequence for this. The problem may be an exacerbation caused by a lot of lines expecting to end in Windows format, but being in Mac format. One result may be that it sees the entire file as one long line and tries to create a buffer for that one line and read that one line into that large buffer instead of using the more speedy, memory-conscious single line reading. Make sense?

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
