MS Excel files password bug ?

[Arnaud Launay <asl launay org>]

Hello people,

Was trying to open the MS excel file my mom sent to me and that
she protected with the password "MADELEINE" (without the "", in
caps), but when I try to open it (first with gnumeric 1.2.2, then
updated to 1.2.4, got the same thing), it prints:

** (gnumeric:24262): CRITICAL **: file ms-biff.c: line 236 (ms_biff_query_set_decrypt): assertion `q->length 
== sizeof_BIFF_8_FILEPASS' failed

And loops again asking for password.

System is Gentoo 1.4, gnome 2.4.1, gnumeric 1.2.4, and the file
is available at http://alaunay.free.fr/liste-annivs.xls

Any idea ?

Thanks,
        Arnaud.
