Description Jim Martin 2005-05-12 13:49:17 UTC 
1. Using the Windows version of 1.5.1 rc 1, open my large (~24meg) excel spreadsheet
2. Gunmeric crashes

Version 1.4.3 rc 3 opens the same file without a problem. Also, if I use 1.4.3
to save as in .gnumeric format then 1.5.1 will open it.

Can we get a copy of the file please ?
Comment 2 Jody Goldberg 2005-05-14 22:31:05 UTC 
I can only replicate this crash on windows.
May I give our win32 expert a copy of the file ?

I have reproduced this.  the only purify event is...

      UMR: Uninitialized memory read (4 times)
      This is occurring while in:
            ms_excel_chart_read [ms-chart.c:2644 pc=0xf5fdbc8c]
            ms_excel_chart_read_BOF [ms-chart.c:2694 pc=0xf5fdbe4c]
            ms_read_OBJ    [ms-obj.c:1143 pc=0xf5fd2208]

...which stems from excel_chart_series_new's failure to initialize
.data[i].series.

(I believe that under purify an UMR causes NULL to be read so I don't see
the crash there.)
