OK, sorry it's taken 8 days - that's how long it took me to get a working X
environment with gnumeric in it for me to reproduce the original problem and
test the patched libgsf-1.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have done the trick. Might there be other
functions where this problem manifests itself? Or should I stil in some
printfs to check I'm not going mad?

At the moment I'm working with a machine over vnc and I have to get someone
else to install updated libs (no root access) which is a pain. Hopefully
I'll get a local one working too soon (but at the moment it just page faults
when starting gnumeric), which will speed up testing.
