Hey folks, sorry for taking a while to reply.

Thanks for taking a look at the report. My point here is that if LibreOffice
cannot read this document, then it's ok to error out. If it can read it, but
partially, then it's fine to render a partial document as well. It seems that
this is in line with what other document readers are doing:

> Office 365 desktop "was unable to open the document". OnlyOffice shows an 
> empty document.

The current situation, however, is that LibreOffice opens this file, and it
hogs 100% of a CPU core. That's neither of the above behaviors, and it looks
more like a DoS vector, especially given the fact that this used to work in
previous LibreOffice versions. In my opinion, even just for the DoS vector,
it's worth fixing this issue. Who knows, maybe a larger bug in the logic is
there, and that's just the tip.

As for the "pass" semantics, thanks for the explanation Caolán. I thought that
these documents were the "good" test set, hence why I opened this bug report.
