Are the files the same?

If not, can you provide steps to reproduce?

You can set it to binary by adding this to ~/.tm_properties:

    [ *.fla ]
    binary = true

I assume the crash is caused by running out of memory when generating the “hex view” — this is done naively using an NSTextView so it requires some 50 times the file size (not the final code).

TextMate does not use any file locks.

Don’t know what “new file from tab” means, so can’t say if it’s on the to-do. That said, I’m reluctant to give estimates about when what will be done, and if it will even be done at all.
