Other information:
I can send an offending spreadsheet, it always crashes Gnumeric, should be
trivial to reproduce. It crashed 1.4.3 so I upgraded Gnumeric, so now it crashes
1.6.0 ;-). The file was created in excel, later processed for a long time in
Gnumeric (1.4.?), then Gnumeric started to crash when I tried to delete a row of
data so I switched to OpenOffice 2.0. A file saved by oocalc2 crashes Gnumeric.
Comment 1 Krzysztof Mystkowski 2005-12-03 17:02:43 UTC 
P.S. I forgot to explain, I'd rather not post this spreadsheet to a public
service. Email me if you want to get the file.
Comment 2 Morten Welinder 2005-12-04 02:43:03 UTC 
Please send a copy of this to terra@gnome.org and jody@gnome.org.  If you
wish us to delete it right after we are done with it, just say so.
Comment 3 Morten Welinder 2005-12-05 02:00:35 UTC 
Fixed in cvs.  TYPE with empty argument was crashing.  (For good measure I
fixed TRIM too.)
Comment 4 Krzysztof Mystkowski 2005-12-05 09:55:38 UTC 
I found a previous version of the same spreadsheet that I'm able to open in
Gnumeric. It crashes 1.6.0 when I try to delete a certain row of data. Now that
you fixed the first error, do you think I should file a new bug report or you
want me to send another file to take a look on something possibly related?
Comment 5 Morten Welinder 2005-12-05 15:52:54 UTC 
Send it over.
