Uncaught Error: Couldn't convert text to a String

[johnblommers]

[Enter steps to reproduce:]

1. ...Open text file 200000_Pages.txt a very large text file about 1/2 gigabyte of text
2. ...Atom displays very large file warning
3. Click Proceed.
4. Click Continue when warned the editor is unresponsive a bunch of times, then finally
5. Receive the error for the wordcount package. See below:
6. Continue using Atom anyway. The Editor is handling the very large file.
7. The error dialog repeats perhaps every few minutes, so annoying.

Atom: 1.19.0 x64
Electron: 1.6.9
OS: Mac OS X 10.11.6
Thrown From: wordcount package 2.10.4
