Could we get a copy of that trace please? If the CTF is invalid, then of
course it might have problems parsing, but it could be interesting to
see if the error handling is done correctly.


To convert traces to and from CTF format, you might want to check out
the not-yet-officially-released Javeltrace tool:
http://www.dorsal.polymtl.ca/~pproulx/javeltrace/

It won't do what you want to do out of the box, but it really helps
understanding the CTF format.
