Crash fixed, the warnings remain.

Where does this xls file come from, i.e., what software created it?
Comment 5 Morten Welinder 2012-07-18 19:20:08 UTC 
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.
