RE: org.apache.poi.hssf.record.RecordFormatException in Reading/Writing to an Excel File..

[Avik Sengupta <av...@itellix.com>]

We've had similar reports many times, and almost every time, its turned
out to be a problem with client code, rather than in the library. 

Think about it.. if it works in windows and not in solaris, it is highly
likely that the problem is in your code. Check the file path. Check the
file permissions. Create a simple file object and see if you can read
it. Check the exception stack trace, and see where exactly the exception
is thrown.
