OK

Seems time to register the bug
https://github.com/moneymanagerex/moneymanagerex/issues
and generate QIF file with random data.
May be ubing Python script?

I had a similar problem - large QIF file exported from Quicken, crash on import into MMEx. Found the issue - not the size, but one record had a pound sign £ in the memo field. When I removed that the import was fine

Could you try to change QIF file encoding to UTF8?

The import with the £ sign in it now imports correctly in version 1.5.3 64-bit with the default encoding
