Package: gnumeric
Version: 1.8.1-1
Severity: normal

If I try to save a document to a specific xls file type, and I'm using a 
currency cell format with certain currency symbols, the currency format will 
be corrupted when I try to reload the document - a "latin small letter a with 
grave" character will get appended to the currency format. Furthermore, more 
such characters will get added on every subsequent save.

This bug happens when I try to save to "MS Excel (tm) 97/2000/XP" format and 
"MS Excel (tm) 97/2000/XP & 5.0/95" format. It does not happen with "MS Excel 
(tm) 5.0/95" format.

It occurs when using the "Yen", "Pound", and "Euro" currency symbols, but not 
with the "Dollar" sign or any of the other ones like "CAD" or "TWD".

Steps to reproduce:
- Create new workbook
- Enter a number in a cell (for instance "10" in A1)
- Change the cell format of A1 (Ctrl+1)
- For Number, choose "Currency" category, and choose "Euro" (f.e.)
- Save the document as "MS Excel (tm) 97/2000/XP" file type
- Close the document and reload.

- ... for additional corruption save it again immediately after reloading. At 
this point the corruption will also be visible in OO Calc.

Thanks,
