It will be related to this research: http://www.familinx.org .
The data is available in the "download" section as an SQL dump 
(which can be easily converted to just tabular files).

I've also added verbose errors to "std.file.slurp()", which 
(IMHO) provide all the necessary information when an error occurs.
Available here:

But this has lead me to detect some "formattedRead" quirks - I'll 
start a new thread about those.
