Description Frédéric Parrenin 2012-03-15 15:18:11 UTC 
- Open the following file:
ftp://lgge.obs.ujf-grenoble.fr/pub/depot/parrenin/toto/Ice-synchros.gnumeric
- go to cell U84
- CTRL-Down to go to cell U5008
- CTRL-SHIFT-Up to selects cells U8:U5008
- Suppr
=> CRASH
Comment 1 Morten Welinder 2012-03-15 18:29:20 UTC 
I assume "Suppr" means "delete".

I don't get a crash.  Given the size of that file it is possible that
you run out of memory.  Can you try running under gdb to get a stack
trace?

I note that there are a lot of #NAME values.
Comment 2 Morten Welinder 2012-03-15 18:48:12 UTC 
#NAME was due to time series plugin disabled.  With that enabled, I do get
a crash:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.

This file is definitely at the limit of what we effectively support.
Please keep multiple independent backups.

It looks like the push failed, so the fix hasn't actually landed yet.
Will retry tomorrow.
