The script seems to be encountering an error on any row that has the "Company 
Main
Phone" field populated, in spite of it being a valid field for import.  I've 
moved
the data from that field to another one and it runs without
issue on a 2800 line CSV that used to fail on the first entry with that field
populated (reliably stopping at line 182).

The same error is also encountered on contact items over 2KB, it would be nice 
if the
error reporting had the server response, or at least validated the data to 
conform to
the pre-reqs instead of just exiting and leaving it up to the user to find the
problem.  That said, user input is the problem here.

Hi guys we just fixed q little issue on the "Company Main Phone" field. Could 
some of you please try with the new 
version? (i.e. v1.1.2) and let us know.

If this still do not work for you please attach a file that provokes the issue.
