[R] problem reading .por SPSS file

Hello,

I've a .por file from 1998. I've tried to read it with

library(foreign)
read.spss("mhp_hu.por")

at this point R simply stops working and my whole system is close to unusable

I've found one related thread, but even there no real solution was given
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2007-February/125071.html

Unfortunately, I have no SPSS, and I can't convert it to txt or any
other format. I was trying to use PSPP as well, but I could not
understand how to open a file in it. :(

Does any of you have an idea?

Thanks, Viktor
