CorruptPowerPointFileException

Hi
 
I get the following exception, trying to instantiate a SlideShow with a specific PPT file, I get: 
 
org.apache.poi.hslf.exceptions.CorruptPowerPointFileException: The PowerPoint file had a broken first SlideListWithTexts. This should only contain either MainMasters, or Slides, but it contained a mix of both (1 slides and 1 masters)
        at org.apache.poi.hslf.usermodel.SlideShow.buildSlidesAndNotes(SlideShow.java:352)
        at org.apache.poi.hslf.usermodel.SlideShow.<init>(SlideShow.java:121)
 
(I couldn't send the file as the mailer-daemon doesn't allow me).
When I roll-back to the version I had previously (also attaced) - there's no problem.
 
Any idea why?

Various things would've been broken before, you just might not have
discovered them!

We now detect a situation we don't properly handle, and give an error. We
didn't think that files like this should've been valid, so we felt safe to
throw the exception. However, it's now looking like they might be valid
files, but with crazy contents...

As Yegor asked, could you let us know how the file was created? We need to
know how they're coming about, before we think about trying to support
them

Cheers
Nick

Hi

We are investigating this problem.
See http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41176
You can attach the file to this bug.

Do you know what software was used to produce this file? PowerPoint or
OpenOffice or whatever else? Anything special about this file?
