Template: Normal.dot, Last Saved By: APO, Revision Number: 8, Name of 
Creating Application: Microsoft Office Word, Last Printed: Sun Apr 26 
23:38:00 2009, Create Time/Date: Sun Apr 26 23:38:00 2009, Last Saved

which tika 0.9 can't parse. It fails with:

java -jar tika-app-0.9.jar ~/Download/maie.doc

I can provide you the document in private, if someone is willing to dig 
into this. My Java version is

java version "1.6.0_20"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.7) (suse-1.2.1-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode)

Thanks
-Tom

This is an Apache POI bug. Can you try with a newer copy of Apache POI? 
(If you build Tika from svn it'll pull down a newer one, 3.8 beta 3)

If that doesn't fix it, you'll need to file a bug report with POI, but 
you'll need to try with the latest version first!
