Description pimbollen 2010-04-04 00:29:52 UTC 
Oocalc crashes after eating all memory when loading a xls file containing links
to a second xls file. I have seen this happening on all 3.x versions I tried on
linux.
The steps to reproduce the crash:
- put "crashoo.xls" and "uren bron 2009.xls" in one directory
- open crashoo.xls
- wait till all the memory is used
When the second file "uren bron 2009.xls" is renamed the file crashoo.xls does
open, shows empty, but asked if links have to be updated.
On windows 7 using OpenOffice.org 3.2 there is no problem.
I will upload the xls files.

Modified Version due to report.
Indeed, no problem with "Ooo 3.1.1 WIN XP DE[OOO310m19 (Build 9420)]" opening
crashoo.xls from WIN Explorer
Comment 4 jbf.faure 2010-04-08 22:16:39 UTC 
I do not reproduce the crash with OOo 3.2.0 (FR) under Ubuntu 8.04.
@pimbollen: are you using vanilla build from this site or the version provided
by your linux distribution ?
Please try with the most recent official version.

I have used builds from openSUSE. The main problem is the amount of memory used.
The file crashoo.xls is a trimmed version of another file, and after loading it
I see it uses more then 1GB of memory. The original file uses all the memory
there is (including swap). I can send you that file, but it contains data not
meant for everyone.
On openSUSE 11.2 using OOo 3.2.0 it does not crash on crashoo.xls, but it does
on the original file. This machine has 1.5GB on board + 1GB swap.
Closing the file does not release the memory used.
Comment 6 pimbollen 2010-04-10 00:55:09 UTC 
On OOo 2.4 crashoo.xls only uses 33MB and loads a lot faster.
Comment 7 pimbollen 2010-04-28 21:54:20 UTC 
Now I have built my own version of OpenOffice.org from svn and it is working
great. My version is OpenOffice.org 3.2.0 OOO320m12 (Build 9483)
OOO320m12 is also the latest tag in svn.
However the version from OpenSUSE is OpenOffice.org 3.2.0 OOO320m21 (Build 9319)
built by Novell.Inc. (Build 3.2.0.7) is failing, so it looks to me Novell has
reintroduced an old bug.
I think the best thing is to report this issue to Novell.

confirmed.  You can repro this using the koheiextref01 cws too.
Comment 9 kyoshida 2010-04-28 23:32:09 UTC 
Link to the downstream bugzilla page.
Comment 10 kyoshida 2010-04-28 23:33:23 UTC 
I'll keep this for now.
Comment 11 kyoshida 2010-04-28 23:34:47 UTC 
This shares the same root cause with Issue 107693.
Comment 12 kyoshida 2010-04-28 23:35:43 UTC 
To fix this, I have to fix Issue 109169 first.
Comment 13 kyoshida 2010-04-28 23:55:06 UTC 
BTW, in the interest of correctness

>it looks to me Novell has reintroduced an old bug.

This is not correct information.
Comment 14 kyoshida 2010-04-29 01:41:52 UTC 
Actually this can be fixed without waiting for Issue 107693.
Comment 15 kyoshida 2010-04-29 03:23:15 UTC 
Fixed in the koheiextref01 cws.
