org.apache.poi.hssf.record.FormatRecord.field_1_index_code has value of -1. 

           Summary: org.apache.poi.hssf.record.FormatRecord.field_1_index_co
                    de has value of -1.
           Product: POI
           Version: 2.0FINAL
          Platform: All
               URL: http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/oog/ftparea/wogirs/xls/psw14.xl
                    s
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: Other
         Component: HSSF
        AssignedTo: poi-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: lonny@ze.com


Description:
It appears that the field_1_index_code field in the 
org.apache.poi.hssf.record.FormatRecord class can attain a value of -1.
 
This causes the HSSFDataFormat to throw an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException on 
line 109 because the FormatRecord’s field_1_index_code field is used as an 
index into a Vector where all the FormatRecords for the workbook are stored. 

Steps to Reproduce:

Open the file: http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/oog/ftparea/wogirs/xls/psw14.xls and an 
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown on line 109 of HSSFDataFormat.

This error occurs for version 2.0 and 2.5

Notes:
The format record is read in and is stored to the Workbook on line 192 of the 
org.apache.poi.hssf.model.Workbook.java. 

BackGround:
After reading the OpenOffice document for FormatRecord, 
http://sc.openoffice.org/excelfileformat.pdf, it appears that -1 is an invalid 
index for a Format Record but I am not sure if the -1 is caused from HSSF 
incorrectly reading the Excel File or if the actual FormatRecord is stored with 
an index of -1.
