With regard to "bad allocation" messages.

This suggests that you are running into memory-access limitations in OpenOffice
Calc.

Although Calc was able to build a sheet with such a large number of rows, the
complexity of the sheet is apparently overwhelming with regard to the memory
allocations required to use the sheet.  A seemingly-small change may exhaust
the working memory available to Calc.

One limiting factor is that OpenOffice on Windows is an x86 application, so the
limitation on available memory is fixed at a value less than what a Windows x64
system might be able to provide.  

Try closing other applications and only having OpenOffice Calc open with the
one document to see if that makes any difference.

You can also try increasing the Windows swap space (Virtual Memory), although
that might not be a factor.  Only do that if you are comfortable working with
the Control Panel > System and Security > System (link) > Advanced system
settings (link on sidebar) > Advanced tab > Performance (Settings... button) >
Advanced tab > Virtual memory.  The amount used on all drives is probably
generous already (e.g., nearly 5000 MB or more).
