Open Studio crashes when importing DOE IDF files

I downloaded Miami model file from DOE website, I then used IDF Version Updater to update the file to v8.8. When I opened the updated file with IDF Editor, and did a Validity Check I got prompted for an error. The error was the ULC object, the object field was highlighted, so I choose UpperLeftCorner to fix it the error. Every time I try to import this IDF file, Open Studio crashes. It happens with other files for other US cities under the above link. Please help.
