screenshot of Excel 2008 for Mac error message when opening err.xls

This looks like a classic case of a malformed file causing an infinite
recursion error. I have some concerns that this is an example of a DOS attack
against any POI based spiders.

I do wonder how this file was created, was it a damaged file from a bad disk or
a crash?

I think this is a bug, but I don't think it has a high priority. I suggest that
the OP put a try-catch around opening the workbook. I know that this is not
ideal.
