Unconfirmed with v4.4.5.2 under windows 7 x64.
Unconfirmed with v5.0.1.2 under mint 17.2 x64.

File opens pretty fast, no hangs.

Maybe you can try it with a fresh user profile ?!

Sorry I did refer to a file that openes up ok.
Changed to the failing one now.
Delete user profile and opened the failing file. Still fails.

I can open file with excel 2010

with Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha1+
Build ID: 50f2c712c46c66264279ab3b61888e491a4d8dca

Error message: General input/output error  and then LO freeze(100% CPU, killed after 2 mins). I can open file with Verze: 4.4.2.2,ID sestavení: 40m0(Build:2) -> regression.

Tried to open the file with v4.3.7.2 under mint 17.2 x64. Also got the 'General input/output error'.
Then tried v4.2.8.2 under mint 17.2 x64. This one gives the 'text import' window.
After selecting, it opens the file as a text file. So the bug must be between these version. Dunno why v4.4.2.2 opens the file correctly. Maybe it was fixed and then broken again ?! Or a patch that got reverted...

Open for me with:
Win10x64
Version: 4.4.5.2 Build ID: a22f674fd25a3b6f45bdebf25400ed2adff0ff99

As 4.3 is End Of Life, no more patches, and it works with the latest 4.4, I think we must resolve as works for me.
Please if you are not agree reopen it.

Sorry, but raal already reproduced it as said in comment 3

For me v4.3 was the earliest affected version.
Reporter first gave the wrong file, so i unconfirmed that.
But with the correct file, i get the general input/output error. Tested with v4.4.5.2/5.0.1.2 under mint 17.2 x64 and v4.4.5.2 under windows 7 x64.

Sorry, my mistake, I had verified with the wrong file.

Recent regression, XML opens (albeit slowly) with 4.4.3 and freezes with 4.4.4+.
Linux console output may be nice.

Tried bibisecting it using 50max, but could open it with both latest and oldest, a bit slow, around 1minute, but working.

Tried bibesecting it using dbgutil, but couldn't open it with either master and oldest. (master -> source-hash-7323190456c2ed4ec9f092f8e69ba12ce41587cd)

and I can open the file. Please could you test with dev version?

Thank you

Installed as suggested this file:http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Win-x86_64@62-TDF/2015-12-02_06.37.24/master~2015-12-02_06.37.24_LibreOfficeDev_5.2.0.0.alpha0_Win_x64_en-US_de_ar_ja_ru_qtz.msi
To be very specific I installed it on my \d: drive as I wanted to keep the Swedish version I have instelled. But still got the same issue:
General input/output error.

No crash with 44max either which is strange. I'm removing bibisectRequest as it's apparently not possible. Has a backtrace so that should help.

This seems to have begun at the below commit.
Adding Cc: to Robert Antoni Buj Gelonch; Could you possibly take a look at this one? Thanks

tdf#90999: Import spreadsheetML cells with inline formatting tags

Created attachment 124302 [details]
only 2 rows, 34 cells

It fails because the xml contains a high number of cells (92157), those cells are translated to nodes and exceeds limits.

This is affecting me recently. Unable to open xml files (generated with Stata 13) in excel format. Used to be able to. 

Confirmed that XLM test file zipped (388.05KB, 93997 periodens-vara-september-20150901.xml) fails with General I/O error for me as well.
