Created attachment 163622 [details]
Example file from Word

Attached user made file contains a column chart.
Opening this file in Writer causes the processor and memory use to skyrocket until memory is exhausted.

Steps to reproduce:
1.	Open attached file

Actual results:
Writer stops answering, uses huge amount of memory and after a few minutes opens the document without the chart data, with only an empty chart.

Expected results:
File opens correctly.

Opening the file in a 32 bit build

Reproducer example made in Excel 13

Here is an example for how to break this:
- In Excel create a chart with some data
- In the Select Data Source dialog of Excel edit the range for the horizontal (category) axis. In the small Axis Labels dialog go to A2 and select a range until the end of data by pressing Ctrl-Shift-DOWN. But oh no, press DOWN twice so it does not select to the end of data, but to the end of the sheet. So the field shows =Munka1!$A$2:$A$1048576 - no problem, Excel can handle this just fine.
- Copy the resulting chart to Word. Save as DOCX. This will generate something like this in chart1.xml:
					<c:cat>
						<c:numRef>
							<c:f>Munka1!$A$2:$A$1048576</c:f>
							<c:numCache>
								<c:formatCode>d\-mmm</c:formatCode>
								<c:ptCount val="1048575"/>


Now Writer uses this ptCount value to try to determine how many rows the internal data table of the chart should have. 1 million rows is too much for it, so we should not believe this number to be true.
This happens on MSO 2010 / 13.
The actual number of c:pt tags could be a more accurate estimate.
