Description Bernard Chesnoy 2004-07-08 14:41:22 UTC 
If you give an hyperlink with a size between 127 and 255 length, with the 
sources I got an ArrayOutOfBoundException, and with the binary distribution 
everything goes good until you try to read the .xls, excel can't do it
(unreadable file...).

It seems, that the length is keep in a Byte, so when it is cast in an int it 
gives a negative length. 
Class modified : org.apache.poi.hssf.record.formula.StringPtg
file added : HyperlinkFormula.java a test case
I correct this using an int for the length and a mask to remove all unneeded 
bits.
As I'm a newbie tell me if I do something wrong.

bernard: I'm having trouble untaring your patch.  I'm getting the following errors:

tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
