So, when you say the contents of the tag page isn't showing up, do you
mean the page entry is not in the tree on the left at all, or the entry
is there but the page shows up empty?

I have no clue about this.  Maybe it's a remnant of one of those code
relocation efforts that took place awhile ago in the OOo code?

Check around the ScTable class.  That's the class that implements each
sheet instance.  Especially pay close attention to its constructor, and
assuming that it gets called three times during the startup of Calc, you
can perhaps set a break point in there to see who instaniates it 3
times, and trace back from there.

Great to see you working on this, BTW.
