Crash in HSSF

[Jim Cobban <jc...@magma.ca>]

HSSF is crashing trying to read some of my Excel spreadsheets.  This is with jakarta-poi-1.5.1-final-20020615.jar.  I have downloaded the source and I am prepared to work on fixing the problem myself.   I have recompiled the module in question to add debugging code so I can see what is different about the spreadsheets that crash.  However neither jar nor WinZip can add the class file into the existing jar.

Any pointers would be appreciated.
