Freezes half way through loading geojson

[simon04]

From ​https://github.com/JOSM/geojson/issues/3:

This plugin isn't working at all for me. After selecting a file it shows a progress bar "Loading json file..." but always stops half way along and freezes up

By freezing up I mean, I can hear my CPU fan going, but nothing's happening. At this point the 'Cancel' button doesn't work, but I can close the dialog box to continue. If I run JSON in a terminal I see this

2016-11-15 23:23:17.046 INFO: Open file: /Users/harrywood/Desktop/restaurants-goswell-rd.geojson (2181 bytes)
2016-11-15 23:23:17.046 INFO: Parsing GeoJSON: /Users/harrywood/Desktop/restaurants-goswell-rd.geojson
It also says I'm using plugin 'geojson' (version 43)

At first I tried this with quite a large geojson file downloaded from the Tasking Manager export feature. Then I tried a much smaller simpler file: ​https://gist.githubusercontent.com/harry-wood/e96599042264e7f78cbb/raw/9508ff713a254b093d5ce43d1c421847ecb36503/restaurants-goswell-rd.geojson Same problem either way.

This is a regression of r11033.
