It's not corrupt. Just the node is too large to be read by libxml. This is quite annoying.

Comment 3 Morten Welinder 2013-07-30 13:23:38 UTC 
Interesting, but see
https://bitbucket.org/shlomif/perl-xml-libxml/pull-request/19

Do we lose anything?
Comment 4 Jean Bréfort 2013-07-30 14:00:52 UTC 
We need either to enable the huge mode or to save large pixbufs as several blocks, with no one exceeding 2^20 (hoping the limit will never shrink in libxml). Otherwise, just put a photo inside a gnumeric file, and you will not be able to load it back.
What could we loose?
Comment 5 Jean Bréfort 2013-07-30 14:21:18 UTC
