PLY "Bad vertex index in face"
A processing system for 3D triangular meshes

I am trying to open a PLY file. I get the err "Bad vertex index in face." The ply came from here: http://morphosource.org/index.php/Detail/MediaDetail/Show/media_id/6624 I don't want to attach it in case that this file is protected by a license in some way. Registration is free on the site and there is no actual email conformation. It downloads without an extension, but it's a PLY. I changed the first line to simply say "ply" and prefixed the last 3 lines with "comment " to get it to work somewhat.
Windows 8.1 Pro x64
MeshLab x64 v1.3.3
I found that other files in the project had STL versions like this one: http://morphosource.org/index.php/Detail/MediaDetail/Show/media_id/6643 After removeing the same weird lines that were at the beginning and end, I was able to open it in 123d Design, save it as a new STL and then open it in MeshLab. However, there are weird lines protruding from the object everywhere.
When I try to clean the vertices with Edge Flip, MeshLab crashes.
