Loading of large Biological Assemblies freezes #483

Reported by akdehof on 27 Mar 43281546 12:40 UTC Linux, OpenGL, VdW by chain: download of 3iyl as Biological Assembly stops/freezes after downloading 91 mio bytes of 4294... probably a bug related to the new Biological Assembly functionality...

Commented by chahuistle on 26 Jun 44028704 11:02 UTC Tried it on MacOS 10.7.5, Intel and it simply freezes... I had to kill BALLView and it showed to be hogging memory, so I suspect this is an issue related with the size of the structure 3IYL.

It seems that BALLView actually freezes while trying to read the assembly into a System, i.e., after the download has been completed successfully and after the assembly has been decompressed (indicated by both corresponding temp files being present). The download only appears to be stalled since the download status is not completely flushed to the log stream before freezing.

The same behavior can be observed when opening the same assembly from a local file.
