Yes - I knew the workaround and even puzzled out that
the origination of the bug is that SYLK files begin with
ID;..... You would think that some bright programmer could
decide that if the third character isn't the expected ;
then it might be just an ordinary text file. Interesting
how difficult it seems to fix such a simple thing.

BTW, it also (used to) fails in Windows too. Also, it is
any text file, not just csv.
