I don't import OFX files myself, but I see it's been a couple of days and 
no response. Many users do import OFX files, and many users are on MacOSX, 
so I have to think it's an issue with your particular OFX file.

AFAIK, OFX files are entirely text. The first thing I'd do would be to open 
the OFX file with a text editor and see if there's something in it that 
just looks totally bizarre. Possibly the financial institution is going 
berserk in a description field, or the the file is not complete, or ... 
something.
