The primary developers for Calc have been on top of issues with the major code 
refactoring done for the 4.2.0 release. 
So, if you can attach your problem spreadsheet to a FDO hosted Bugzilla report 
with precise Steps to Reproduce the issue that is the best way to assure that 
the issue gets attention.

In truth filing is pretty straight forward, but you'll need to register an 
account to submit. Two choices: one guided with the Bug Submission Assistant 
(BSA) -> https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/  or  directly into the 
Bugzilla interface at http://bugs.libreoffice.org/  (currently a link to 
bugs.freedesktop.org hosted BZ).  For either case, give it a descriptive title 
and you'd report against:

Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.2.1.1 release
Component: Spreadsheet
Platform: x86(IA32), Linux  -- once we get a look at your attached spreadsheet 
we'd confirm and expand the platform against other platforms.

And If you file, and please do so we can confirm and get this attended to, post 
back with the BZ number.

Devs sort of expect folks on Linux to roll their own, but as you found there is 
 the nightly TinderBox-45 rolling 32-bit RPM and DEBs of master:   
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Linux-rpm_deb-x86@45-TDF/current/
 

If you can get the kunbutu install done from the DEB, should help identify if 
the revised code in master has addressed your issues. 

Also, there are PPA packaged builds for the Unbutu folks as well, I just 
checked and a 4.2.2.0 not yet posted. But you could keep an eye on it:

https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa 
and
https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/libreoffice-prereleases for earlier 
review.
