This is the first I've heard of anything like that.  The file offers
some clues, but nothing concrete.  It seems to end in the middle of
an xml element and without closing the gzip stream.  Which would be
consistent with a crash, its hard to guess what content immediately
following the style regions would have caused breakage.  Had you
just made changes on the 2nd Sheet (RegnskapJan) ?
