Created attachment 24413 [details] Test data
Applied with slight simplifications in svn r829293 Thanks for adding unit tests. BTW - I agree with your TODO comment. Another concern is how Excel behaves when other application write files with incorrect arg counts, but from what I can tell Excel(2007) reports an error "File error: data may have been lost." It seems like it is OK for POI to crash on this condition. We'll probably fix these globally at some point.
