Hello again,
When there is a problem loading a TMX, CafeTran pops up the dialog to remove invalid XML characters as the most probable cause.
Please note that if it's a structural problem (one of the tags has no matching end-tag), such problems cannot be repaired automatically, you may need to fix this by editing the file in a text or XML editor.

As for the freeze during the "Remove invalid XML characters" operation, this is probably due to insufficient allocated RAM. Assign more RAM and try again:

To check the effectively allocated max RAM, go to Help > About.
How many TUs are there in the TM you are trying to load? If it's 100,000 or more, please consider using Total Recall instead of opening the TMX directly.

I have removed a < /tu > character from a TMX file (by using a text editor) to reproduce the issue. I get the same error as the one you describe in the first post.
This is not a error produced by CafeTran, simply an error in the TMX file, for which CafeTran shows an error message.

This is not a error produced by CafeTran, simply an error in the TMX file, for which CafeTran shows an error message.
I'm on Linux, but I then used the cross-platform applications Virtaal ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/translate/files/Virtaal/0.7.1/Virtaal-0.7.1-Mac-Beta-2.dmg/download ) and/or Olifant ( http://okapiframework.org/snapshots/okapi-olifant_cocoa-macosx-x86_64_4.0.17-SNAPSHOT.zip ), to open the TMX file.
These tools show what tag is missing and on which row/line and col(umn) to look.
You can then open the file in a text editor (preferably one that highlights the tags with different colors, but Text Edit should do in a pinch) and add the missing < /tu > tag at the correct placement in the file. Check for other < /tu > tags to understand their expected positioning.
Each opening < tu > tag must be matched by a closing < /tu > tag later in the file.
[TU = Translation Unit aka segment]
[I have added spaces between the tag marks < > because otherwise they are not displayed in this forum]
---
If you can't find the error to fix this, and if recreating the TMX in the original CAT tool is not possible or still produces an error, I suggest you open a support ticket as advised above, attaching the TMX file so that the developper can have a look at it.
As a ProZ Plus user, you are entitled to official CafeTran support, but I'm not sure if the developer can offer to fix the file for you.
All the best,
Jean
