NX5 file fails to load in NX9

I am having problems opening a certain NX5 file in NX9 (I have tried hundreds of others with no problem). We use master model so there is a .prt file, and a -drw.prt file. The only component in the -drw.prt file is the .prt file... no other reference components. The .prt file opens just fine (no warnings), but the -drw.prt file will not open and I get the following errors (attached are both errors that appear). I can open them from NX5 just fine, and I have run a part cleanup on the files with no improvement. Has anyone ever seen anything like this before?

Are you running NX 9.0.3.4 (the latest MR)? I think there were some issues which have been addressed in a maintenance release.

We are currently using 9.0.2.5. I will get the latest update and re-test. Thanks John. If it doesn't solve the issue, I will contact GTAC.
 
If you have other version of NX loaded on your computer, greater than NX5 and less then NX9, then try opening it in that.
