Description J.H.M. Dassen (Ray) 2008-01-20 11:30:10 UTC 
[Based on http://bugs.debian.org/329032]

Gnumeric throws assertion failures for the document
	http://www.eex.com/en/document/4349
(which is the "French-Power-Futures 2005" link on the data page
http://www.eex.com/en/Download/Market%20Data; md5sum is
960e8cd7fc6f26e56a40748c72a56e6c):

	Reading file:///tmp/energy_french_power_futures_historie_2005.xls
	Excel 97 +

	** (gnumeric:6397): CRITICAL **: ms_obj_read_biff8_obj: assertion `obj->excel_type >= 0 || record_type == GR_COMMON_OBJ_DATA' failed

	** (gnumeric:6397): CRITICAL **: ms_obj_read_biff8_obj: assertion `obj->excel_type >= 0 || record_type == GR_COMMON_OBJ_DATA' failed

	** (gnumeric:6397): CRITICAL **: ms_obj_read_biff8_obj: assertion `obj->excel_type >= 0 || record_type == GR_COMMON_OBJ_DATA' failed

Is there a problem with this file, or does this point to a limitation in
Gnumeric's xls import?
Comment 1 Jody Goldberg 2008-01-20 15:32:33 UTC 
replicated.
Comment 2 Morten Welinder 2008-04-11 23:19:08 UTC 
I cannot replicate.  Perhaps sum1's bug barrage has caused this to be fixed.
Can either of you please retry?
Comment 3 Morten Welinder 2008-04-14 17:31:29 UTC 
Document has changed.  Not much we can do, then.
Comment 4 Morten Welinder 2009-01-15 01:22:29 UTC 
We got the document offline.  But now we read it right...
