Unicode parsing error

[ju...@bnpparibas.com]

Hi, I have a parsing error when trying to read an excel file

Environment : jdk 1.4.2 under Windows XP SP1, error identical under poi
2.0, 2.5.1 and 3.0-alpha2-20060616, parsing an a file created with excel
2002 containing some french characters :

HSSFWorkbook hssfWorkbook = new HSSFWorkbook(new POIFSFileSystem(new
BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("MyFile.xls"))));

Code worked a few days ago but failed since some changes in the excel file

Error is at
"return new String(string, offset, len, "ISO-8859-1");" in a
getFromCompressedUnicode method so I suspect an encoding issue but can't
spot it for the moment
