Original file from Office 97

I have .XLS file which I can normally open by POI library. I opened it in Office
2007, replace one column with another data and dave it.

And now I get the this exception from POI:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: two Page Settings Blocks found in the same sheet

I tested it with two different documents. Interesting is, that when I create new document in Office 2007 and save it in compatibility mode, it works. Problem is only when I open old Office XLS and then save it.

Fixed in svn r757520
junit added

Excel 2007 adds an extra page settings record, HEADERFOOTER(0x089C), which POI didn't process properly.
