Import fails when Note text has too many CONC lines

When an incoming GEDCOM has a Note text with a large number of successive CONC lines (making a very long paragraph), the Import fails.

The error message produced indicates that PGV has used up all of the allowed CPU time.

The work-around is to add some CONT lines to the text to break it up into smaller paragraphs.

CONC means "add this text to the end of the rpeceding text to make a longer one". CONT means "end the preceding text and start a new one". Two CONT lines in a row produce one blank line.
