Lightmaps Problem

So what is up with this lightmap problem? It keeps reoccuring on me and preventing me for being able to export it as a DIF.
Here is a sample .map that the problem occurs with:
[url="http://localhostr.com/files/fe2f7aee71d6285fef15.map"]Ramp Madness.zip[/url]
(Save link as, save target as, etc)

What is the problem you're seeing, is it an error or light leaks?

(Please note I am using a slightly different version of map2dif, marbleblast map2dif, but it is basically the same.)
P.S.S. I know none of the brushes are big by any means, so I have narrowed it down to the lightmap part of the error.

I only get an error when I try to export it as dif; my .maps usually have malformed brushes so don't worry about that if you try out the map I have hosted, but here is a picture of the problem I am getting:(Please note I am using a slightly different version of map2dif, marbleblast map2dif, but it is basically the same.)

It tells you exactly what is wrong... 'You have a brush that is too large'; by the looks of the '18x364' part you have a tall skinny brush someplace. Find it and make it into 2 parts.

Hmm.. considering it crashes upon opening the map file, I am not really sure how to do this.

The .map file you linked to? I have it open, and for reference I placed the dts orc on top of one of the tall pillars. If anything in there is the issue, I suppose they would be it.www.revictum.com/pl.jpg

Haven't exported it though.

I opened it too in constructor without problem but missing textures. Without news, I thought it was solved in some way.Haven't exported it though.
