It means circular references, but in my case it probably means
something else, because I have more than double checked: There are no
circular references! Well, I said that before, didn't I? I think so.

I always used to file bug reports, but since I switched to LibreOffice
they are just too many. I wouldn't have time for anything else if I
wrote a bug report every time I found a new bug. Maybe I file every
tenth bug or so, so it's not that I'm doing absolutely nothing, but
no, I don't think I filed this particular one. I was going to, but I
would need to attach that particular document, with a lot of data that
I need to rename first and so on, just too much work, especially at
that speed…

Anyway, now that I saved the document with Apache OpenOffice,
LibreOffice opened it much faster and that several minutes wait after
every cell entry was suddenly gone, it now takes approximately one
second. Maybe Apache OpenOffice fixed it somehow?

And even funnier, Apache OpenOffice now takes a few seconds coffee
break for every cell entry in that file (at least it's not minutes)!
If I am going to file a bug report, I am not really sure what to
write, I'm just too confused right now, I don't know what happens;
maybe I'm just dreaming all this…
