Comment 12 for bug 775608

SRU details:

= RATIONALE =
This is:
- a severe regression from the previous release of Ubuntu
- while it might directly not cause a loss of user data, it might cause corruption of user data which might be even worse

= RESOLUTION =
The bug has been found to be caused by an call to the function IterateMatrix() in sc/source/core/tool/interpr1.cxx with the wrong order of parameters. This causes the initial value of the iteration to be wrong for PRODUCT. It seems to be right still for other functions by pure luck (i.e. as fMem is 0 it works out correctly for most calls - but for PRODUCT calls fRes has to be 1 initially).

= REPRODUCING THE BUG =
TEST CASE:
- Open calc spreadsheet
- type in "=PRODUCT({1, 2, 3})" as formula for a cell
- expected result: 6
- actual result: 1

= REGRESSION POTENTIAL =
No potential regressions.

= RELEVANT PACKAGES =
The bug has been addressed in source package libreoffice-1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 as uploaded to https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa . This is a joined SRU with bug 746375 because of LibreOffice package size. Attaching one debdiff with both fixes, but as the fixes are injected using patches in the build process, both are clearly separated.
