Bug description:

When working in Dev Mode, the simulator crashes unexpectedly, after some operations.
It happens with a .XML file that contains water polygons. The file in question is about 9 Mbytes large. With files of the same type but up to 5 Mbytes in size, no CTD.

Repro steps:

During the visual verification phase of the water polygons in the Scenario Editor, some, even if correctly excluded in QGis and then transferred to .SHP format, do not apply the exclusion correction. The verification is done to find a solution … but I can not complete the verification process, because the CTD arrives.

Note: The attached . XML file (make a backup) every time they are loaded in the Scenario Editor the “Force elevation” attribute is added which is not necessary as it causes a further unwanted flattening in the final scenario

To overcome this, I clean the .XML file of this attribute every time and compile with fspackagetool.exe from outside of DEV Mode.
