"Sorry, the management."

[Lenart Janos <ocsi debian org>]

Dear developers!

A good friend of me does his everyday job in gnumeric, and she is happy
to use it. However, now, she has the following problem, while trying to
load a specific file[1]. I include some transcript here, please, try to
discover this problem, it was not easy to convience her to use gnumeric
instead of excel. (The file itself is in .xls format, but was saved by
gnumeric a few hours before.)

-----< on her box: gnumeric version 1.0.8 >-----
Bonobo-WARNING **: Could not open help topics file NULL for app gnumeric

** WARNING **: Tried to mark as unused the block 58 which has 1802706996

how odd: blank named file in directory

management." message >-----
