Hi, The 3.6.15rc1 version available at my site fixes this (at least it can import the attached game). Note that it is always possible to make a game that can't be imported (for example insert a 1 MB comment). This is due to the fact that some buffers are statically sized. I increased the limits, and I hope this will be ok for all "normal" games.
