Data Build freezes at reading runways

v3.1.2.101 (Win 7,8 download) on a new machine, Win 8.1, X-Plane 10.40b5

Plan-G installs and displays the map.  Path is correct (otherwise the database builder wouldn't begin).  When I run the database builder it reads apt.dat but then it freezes at reading runways.  Any idea how to trouble-shoot this?  I'm seeing the runways on the map before I run the builder but no navaids or other features are displayed and the runway read never finishes.  (i7-4790K w/ 32GB RAM ran overnight).  I have hundreds of custom scenery files installed so I'm sure there are issues there.  How can I determine which one is blocking?  X-Plane loads and runs normally and log.txt gives me no clue.

Apologies, I didn't catch the other thread on this problem with an earlier beta version of XP 10.40.  I'm downloading 3.1.3 test and will try in the morning.

That did it.  Thanks, Tim !!  I thought it was some "bad" Custom Scenery I loaded. :)

It's not the version XP 10.40.
The error occurs with the new apt.dat comming with this version.
There is a new Skydive Dubai Airport in this apt.dat with the ICAO-Code: AE-0003
That's wrong!

Take a texteditor and load the apt.dat from \\X-Plane 10\Resources\default scenery\default apt dat\Earth nav data.
Then search AE-0003 and change this code to AE03.
Thats all!

Cheers,
