Hi, I saw a similar issue with a Cadence PDK I received recently. The crash seems to be caused by the techDisplays section of the .tf rather than the .drf itself (which read in OK).

When I edited the .tf and removed the 'Packet' column it no longer crashed Glade 4.1.7 although it didn't seem to work as a tech file.
It may be a different issue or just a symptom but…
