[Kde-nonlinux] kspread locks up on seemingly simple spreadsheets (1.4.2/kde 3.4.3)

[Raphael Langerhorst]

Hi James,

I don't think this issue belongs to the kde-nonlinux list (kde-freebsd would 
have been better), but I don't even think it's FreeBSD related, but just 
KSpread (or maybe kde, but we'll find out).

I suggest you send the same mail to koffice at kde.org (register here: 
http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice )

We can certainly help you to get back your lost data (and fix the bug that 
caused that), but you need to provide us with the file itself. If it is 
confidential you should probably send it to one of the kspread developers to 
help you with it.

Regards,
Raphael
