While processing an Excel file (available upon request) with HSSF, I got a run-
time exception in the method NameRecord.fillFields(). I looked at the code and 
found a bug in line 658 of that method in the file NameRecord.java in version 
1.10.0. The code should be adding the length of the previous variable length 
field to find the start of the current field. Instead it is adding the length 
of the current field. I changed the line as below to solve the problem. How do 
I get this change into the HSSF base?

          //int start_of_description_text   = start_of_custom_menu_text + 
field_8_length_description_text;
	    int start_of_description_text   = start_of_custom_menu_text + 
field_7_length_custom_menu;

The exception occurs with some macros as below with the 1.10.0 developer 
release.
