These two names are in the S5.4.2.txt file:
      المملكة-المتحدة-لبريطانيا-العظمى-وآيرلندا-الشمالية
      соединенное-королевство-великобритании-и-северной-ирландии

The resulting A-labels for these names are not valid in the DNS:
      xn--------lch4abbabcbafmcmf4d0bj3bg3f4c5a1a8y3aaefhfeceagqkzl0gzbxbdlm
      xn--------5veddhabeqmbbabeeb4cjbbabfcaznh0agq9bbaqifehdaegn7eolfhst1bm

The A-labels are 70 characters long, and DNS requires a label to be no longer than 63 characters in length.  I suggest these two string be removed from the file.
