It doesn't so much hang as use large amount of memory.  That might send your
machine into swapping hell.
Comment 2 Jean Bréfort 2010-06-23 07:03:20 UTC 
This sample file makes my laptop go out of memory with gnumeric, but opens fine with oocalc.
Comment 3 Morten Welinder 2010-06-23 15:46:41 UTC 
The problem is the cell style.  For some reason we are splitting lots and
lots of tiles that could be "simple" into "col".

Once fixed, I will flip one lonely bit in the file (well, in one of the
subfiles in the archive) and expect to see ooo and probably xl go out of
memory trying to load it.  This file just happens to suit their internal
structures.

This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.
