Description Kevin Oberman 2003-01-06 17:10:08 UTC 
	After the update of gnumeric to 1.0.12 yesterday, gnumeric
locked up when attempting to open an XML input file saved by gnumeric
1.0.11.

The lock-up could not be broken by ^C and required a 'kill -9'. The
loop ate up all available CPU at low priority. Reinstalling 1.0.11
allowed the file to open again. (This may be a problem with gnumeric
that is not FreeBSD specific, but I'm starting here.)

I can supply files that cause the problem, but it contains personal
information that I would prefer not to post to the ticket system.

Fix: 

Back-off to V1.0.11.
How-To-Repeat: 	gnumeric Vitals.gnumeric

Alas, this was why 1.0.12 came out.  1.0.11 had a problem with XML files  
that contained non-ASCII characters.  What you should try is going back 
to 1.0.10, save the XML file, then upgrade to 1.0.12, and see if the problem 
goes away.

No luck! I installed 1.0.10 and read in the files. I then saved each
one and re-installed 1.0.12. 1.0.12 still locks up when I try to open
the files.

The problem was the new XML input buffer size.  It was being set to 1 MB 
which overflowed FreeBSD's thread[0] stacksize.  Setting it to 768 KB 
successfully works around the problem. 

A bug has been filed with GNOME on this.  See 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102700 for more details. 

Thanks for the report.
