STL import issue, "Entity creation failed: Errors occurred during transfer of streams."

Hi all, has anyone experienced issues with importing large STL's into Catia? 

The attached image shows the error message has come up during importation of the STL files.

 

In the rare instances the STL file import is successful, a similar error message also appears when trying to saving the part.

Any help here would be appreciated
