 I'm not sure about this. I'm not able to look inside the object right now..

 I sort of noticed that.. The original object is about 1.6Mbyte, but converted OBJ file gets 15M+ (then seg fault). Though, this behavior is not seeing in DXF format (still crash).

 Actually I was trying to use PPE at first. Becuase the PPE's web page says works good as a converter. However, I was not able to compile it, and author told me it's not supported anymore. (He was nicely introduced me about PLIB with how it'll work)
 So right now, I don't have a way to access to see what kind of structure this object have. I'll check it under windows as soon as the machine gets free (running as linux render node right now, have to wait 5-6 days more :( ).
 Do you know any other method I could access to this object under linux enviroment?

 This is the one of object I was using for the test. You need to register to the site (free, but still.. ), in order to download it. 

 If this load/save object works as expected. That will be adding a big advantage to this really attractive library !

I will inform you as soon as I get more information about the model.

Thanks!
