Loading a very large LSIF file causes an internal error

I tried to load a 678mb LSIF file into the language server but it causes an internal error.

[Error - 9:36:21 AM] "toString()" failed
Error: "toString()" failed

The file is for a single (very big) project with over 3000 modules, 400 000 lines of code. It seems the failure is at the point where it tries to read the file.

@mpickering I am aware of this and I am working on a version of the extension that reads the dump from a real database (SQLite) instead of reading it into memory. This should bring big memeory footprint savings.
