Public bug reported: I launched Gnumeric accidentally by double clicking on a file called "industries.csv" which is 1 byte long (a newline character, 0x0a).
For what it's worth, Gnumeric also crashes when opening (double click in nautilus, use gnome-open, or launch Gnumeric first and choose file->open from the menu) an empty file called "empty.csv" but succeeds on similarly named 1 byte files containing a comma (0x2c) or tab character (0x09). Bug Buddy reports the following error, so I'll just paste the traceback details below... """ Bug Buddy has encountered an error while submitting your report to the Bugzilla server.
