Create a simple document in LibreOffice Writer 5.2.7.2 containing a single line: "Hello world!" and
save it using the "Microsoft Word 97-2003 (.doc)" format. Run "catdoc" on the created
document. The output is empty.
Details: this bug was introduced in version 1:0.95 and is not reproducible with
previous versions of catdoc. Applying the attached patch to the source code in
version 0.95 (catdoc_0.95.orig.tar.gz) seems to fix the issue.
