Attempting processing of older, greenbook grant_bibliographic format files either fails with heapsize or a java.util.NoSuchElementException.

Is this a case on completeness, or were these files never intended for processing and there is a better source?

a good example is 1990 or 1998 files, a single .dat file for the whole year, and weekly pba*.zip files are also supplied, which also don't load.

(the GrantRedBookBib subfolder in source appears misleading, as the text files, when manually extracted, are clearly APS).

both zips fail during TransformCli with a NoSuchElement exception and appear to mis-classify the file as CpcMasterFile format - log:

Manually extracting the text file in the zip doesn't get much further, in the case of 1998, the file is too large for my VM (1.7GB)

or using 1990 file, the file size appears ok but the format can't parse:
