IFC import crash

Anonymous

hello,

the IFC file posted below causes my Archicad 11 to crash. However I can view it with IFC Engine Viewer. Can anyone tell what is wrong with my IFC file?
Or is there a way to debug an Archicad crash?

I found if I get rid of the last line "#49 = IFCRELCONTAINEDINSPATIALSTRUCTURE('Spaces',$,$,$,(#21),#5);", then Archicad doesn't crash any more, but displays nothing. IFCEngine can display the surface correctly with and without this line.
