I could not reproduce that error using r108 your property list file and a 
sample application running on my Nexus 5 with Android 4.4.2.

Also the line numbers given in the stack trace do not seem to match r108, are 
you sure you are using the latest version?

Also what code are you using to parse the property list?

From the errors given it looks like the parser wants to allocate 7 GB of RAM 
for a huge int array. This could only have resulted by wrongly interpreting 
some length information in the property list file. However I do not see this 
error occuring on either my PC or my Android phone with the property list you 
just provided.

I can only assume tjhat you either use some old version that had a bug or you 
are not passing the property list InputStream correctly to the parser.
