I've run into a problem opening a M$ Office spreadsheet using LibreOffice.
I've put the original file up at
 http://chass.utoronto.ca/~purslow/test/ttc-rider-85-15.xlsx
It should show a table of ridership figures for the Toronto transit system.

When I tried to open it using LO 5.1.0.3 on my Gentoo system,
the window froze (Fluxbox 1.3.7-r2) & I had to kill it via Htop.
However, when I tried it with LO 4.4.3.2 on Mint (another partition),
it opened correctly & I could save it as .ods & .csv : these are at
 http://chass.utoronto.ca/~purslow/test/ttc-rider-85-15.ods
 http://chass.utoronto.ca/~purslow/test/ttc-rider-85-15.csv
However again, when I tried to open these version with my Gentoo LO,
the .ods froze the window, while the .csv opened with garbage in  1  cell.
I've updated LO twice to 5.1.1.3 & 5.1.2.2 , but the same happens.

Can others please test my files with their own Gentoo versions of LO ?
If they have a problem too, I'll file a bug with LO ;
if not, can anyone suggest what is causing the problem with my version ?
