I gave up fixing it and recreated the map.
I do know how I corrupted it.
The MEMO is a look up MEMO

MEMO lookup(field) edit

To corrupt it all I'm doing is putting the MEMO in insert mode 
(CTRL-X on Linux) adding a few blank lines and saving.

Once I do that the memo is corrupt and I can't access the file anymore.

I've played with MEMO enough I think.
