I've been comparing the BiffViewer dumps from poi, excel and open office, and I
can't spot anything wrong with what POI is doing. There are some differences,
but generally when POI and Excel differ, open office does it the same way as
POI, and when POI and OpenOffice differ, POI has done it similar to excel...

OpenOffice can read the poi 65 row file without error, so we're not doing
anything too crazy

The only thing I can suggest is you ask around all of your clients, until you
find one who have a support contract with Microsoft. Then, get the 65 row POI
file submitted to Microsoft, and see if they can shed any light on what Excel
dislikes about the file

As it stands, I can't figure out what POI is doing wrong to be able to fix it
:/
