I have another problem with CSV.jl and DataFrames.jl, again I figure out the problem is due to skipto/limit keyword in CSV, since I encounter a problem a day (I haven’t reported all of them but will do it from now on) my actual question is "am I the only user of these products, or any one else using them? 😉 "

this is the error message for the latest one, I think/ not sure it’s a bug - data have more than 300K rows

```julia
 df = CSV.read("data.csv", DataFrame, skipto = 100000, limit = 5000)
