minimal program to cause issue.

I have been able to create a simple program that when fed a certain excel document when it comes out the other end and is opened by Excel Excel prompts "We found a problem with some content in <filename> Do you want us to try and recover as much as we can? If you trust this workbook click yes" Clicking yes always leads to success and has a repaired record of: "Repaired Records: Table from /xl/tables/table1.xml part (Table)"

I am not entirely sure what it is about this particular spreadsheet that is the issue, something in the table that it contains because if I remove it there is no issues and if I copy the table to another spreadsheet and run the program it is also corrupted. 

I have tried this on 3-10-FINAL-20140208 (where the issue was found), 3-11-20141221, 3-12-20150511, and 3.13-beta1-20150723 with all the same result.  

Please find attached the minimal program and the minimal excel document to reproduce this issue. 

I really hope I am just doing something wrong but this issue has concerned a crucial user of my software which is affecting his trust in the software.

Dependencies include: 
 dom4j-1.6.1.jar, xmlbeans-2.3.0.jar, poi-ooxml-3-10-final-20140208, poi-ooxml-schemas-3.10-FINAL-20140208, 3-10-FINAL-20140208

I can't reproduce this on trunk using Excel 2013.

Please can you re-try with 3.13, and if you still have a problem, confirm which version of Excel you are using?

Didn't work for me on the beta but did on the released 3.13 it looks like. Thank you for the info.
