Are these "big PDB files" downloaded directly from the PDB, another 
database, or generated by some other software?

If they are publicly available could you post a link so other people can 
investigate a little more (e.g. example PDB ID codes)

Do you know enough about the file format to say if these files are 
following the standard or breaking it?  (If we do need to fix the parser 
it has a permissive mode (default) and a strict mode).
