duplicate, need to find other one jrb traced the hang to an iconv_open call. The sample sheet loads fine on other distros. This is apparently a glibc bug. A fix is apparently in glibc now. just being anal about the resolution... |

When opened from the command line, it hangs with the following message: filename.xls Excel 97+ Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.0.12-1 (also applies to 1.0.12-2 from Rawhide) How reproducible: Start Gnumeric. Attempt to open a Microsoft Excel file in 97 or later format. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Gnumeric 2. Open a MS Excel .xls file in 97 or later format 3. Actual results: Gnumeric appears to hang with the aforementioned message Expected results: Gnumeric should import MS Excel files without problems. Additional info: Per Jody Goldberg of GNOME, this may be related to the new glibc
