It appears that this issue is a side effect of the Java Virtual Machine
(JVM) memory limit.

On 64 bit platforms, much data types take twice as memory, so you may
need to increase the maximum memory allowed to the JVM, if you load big
graphs.

In the Linux release of Gephi 0.7, you can do it by editing this file "gephi 0.7 alpha/etc/gephidesktop.conf"
and using these parameters:

# options used by the launcher by default, can be overridden by explicit
# command line switches
default_options="--branding gephidesktop -J-Xms256m -J-Xmx1024m -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -J-Dsun.awt.noerasebackground=true"

Here I set it to 1024Mb (1Gb), but you can increase it, if your computer
has enough memory and you need to load bigger graphs.

  Gephi fail to import a big dynamic GEXF file (~10Mb) under Linux.
  
  The import progress bar show the advancement of the task, but it seems
  very slow (like 2 ou 4 seconds for 10% of advancement, with increasing
  time), despite the high CPU consumption.
  
  Eventually, the progress bar freeze at 73%, and the CPU consumption fall
  down, but the Import Report Panel never appears. Gephi doesn't crash,
  and there is no error message at all.
  
  Important notice: The Windows version of gephi 0.7 alpha release can
  import the same GEXF with no issue! (and it is very fast, less than 12
  seconds)
