Description

NITF parse crashes Daffodil using this command line:

apache-daffodil-2.7.0-incubating-bin/bin/daffodil parse -s nitf.dfdl.xsd test4G.ntf > 4G.ntf.xml

The test file is 4GB. Testing with 8GB and 10GB NITF images is successful. I have attached the test images as zipped and then compressed files. Beware when you expand them - you will have 3 files totaling 22GB.

The attached nitf.dfdl.xsd file includes a work-around from S. Lawrence (for the memory caching issue described elsewhere) and another fix that has already been rolled in to the NITF Schema repo.
