convertCdf from aroma.affymetrix crashes R when used on Brain Array HTA 2.0 CDFs

Question

[wireshark]

Hello,

I am trying to convert the text CDFs from the Brain Array website to binary CDFs for the Affymetrix HTA 2.0 array type. However, every time I use convertCdf from aroma.affymetrix / affxparser R crashes reproducibly. I have tried this under R 3.3, 3.2, 2.15, all with the same result. Does anyone by any chance know if I need to edit the CDFs to make them compatible or if there is another way to load the brain array binary CDFs?

Thanks!
