Somthings odd about the xls itself. I opened sample.xls (8,555KB) in
Excel 2003 and saved as a .xml and the file size is 233KB - that file
opens fine in Excel and LO. From what I can tell, the xml file contains
all of the same data that the xls does. That said, there is definitely
an issue with LO:

Linux (same machine):
LO 3.3.4 crashes and/or I have to kill
LO 3.4.3 doesn't crash but loads the cpu to 92%+ and might as well kill
OOo-dev 3.4.0 same as LO 3.4.3
OOo 3.3.0 same as LO 3.4.3

Windows XP (same virtual machine - only 1MB memory assigned):
Excel 2003 opens, little slow on 'SHR' sheet, but usable
LO 3.3.4 pretty much unusable & drives the cpu to 100%
OOo-dev same as LO 3.3.4...

Note: also saving to .ods (193.2KB) and trying to open in OOo or LO is
pretty much unusable... drives the cpu to max & on one attempt took
nearly 20 minutes to open (linux). Extracting the .ods shows the
content.xml as 17.3MB (yes that's "MB", not "KB").

$ ls -l /home/gg/tempdir/G/OOotest/sample.ods_FILES
total 17820
