Opening xlsx file fills memory and swap

[Robster]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

When trying to open a fairly large xlsx file (4.5MB) the loading progress bar increases slowly for about 5 minutes, during which time the amount of memory in use gradually increases. When the progress is 90%+ open office freezes. The memory in use continues to gradually increase until the swap is full, causing the whole system to freeze.
