Did it, but couldn't recognize "my" bug.

Seems impossible to me: When I open the doc it already has happened. 
OTOH: When I then close the document w/o changing and saving anything, 
then reopen it the formulas are still lost. So, did they get lost upon 
savinf the document? Actually, I don't know.

When they had' built in some logging mechanism I could activate...
