Pandas read_json throws malloc error

I have a file containing a json array with 3861935 lines.

df = pandas.read_json('xyz.json')
Python(20436,0x7fff74109310) malloc: *** error for object 0x7fff533bdec0: pointer being freed was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
Abort trap: 6

      

        
        
        
      

    

It works fine with R jsonlite fromJSON ()
