@Mike: thank you very much for your investigations!
Now this bug is easily

[REPRODUCIBLE] with LibreOffice 3.5.2.2 (Build-ID:
281b639-6baa1d3-ef66a77-d866f25-f36d45f), German langpack installed, running on
MacOS X 10.6.8.

I repeated Mike's steps given in comment #9, using his 'Tab-delimited text file
used for experiments', and can confirm the strange behaviour he describes.

Additionally, I tried the following:
-- Open Mike's 6000 lines sample file with a text editor.
-- Copy the complete tab-delimited text.
-- Open LibreOffice.
-- Create a new Writer document.
-- Paste the complete table.
-- Save the file as ODT.
-- Close the ODT file; file size is 52,896 bytes (reasonable).
-- Open the ODT file again: looks still fine.
-- Select all the text.
-- From the menu, select Table > Convert > Text to Table ...
-- Wait for some seconds, CPU usage goes <= 100%.
-- Finally, a table appears and looks (on a first glance) OK.
-- Save the document again. NB that the progress bar begins slowly to show the
progress, but then stops prematurely.
-- Close it; file size is only 16,679 (!) bytes now.
-- Open the ODT file again: the table is corrupted, data is only present in the
last 38 rows. Also the previous rows look strange: most rows have only 2
columns, but there are some rows in between that have 6 or 7 columns (!).

I will attach this corrupt ODT file.

Setting Status to 'New', as this bug is confirmed now.
Changing Platform from 'Windows' to 'All', as the bug is also reproducible on
MacOS X.
