--- Comment #7 from Michael J. Evans <michael.evans at nor-consult.com> ---
After giving up on creating my /own/ example file by hand (MS Word wound up in
an infinite loop generating the table over and over again), I have identified a
more likely cause of the issue.

http://www.biblioscape.com/rtf15_spec.htm

\trhdr

"Table row header. This row should appear at the top of every page the current
table appears on."

These look like the parts of the RTF filter that are broken.

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/writerfilter/source/rtftok/rtfcontrolwords.hxx

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/writerfilter/source/rtftok/rtfcontrolwords.cxx

The control word is identified, but no actions are taken based on it's
existence.

A unit test might also be failing based on \trhdr existing in...

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/sw/qa/extras/rtfimport/data/tdf99498.rtf

Some of the svgtools files mention it.

Interestingly there's also this file:

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/compilerplugins/clang/unusedenumconstants.writeonly.results

RTF_TRHDR is among the many RTF_ enums that are defined but "never actually
used".

Currently LibreOffice also cannot /export/ an RTF document with a repeating
header row (however adding the missing keyword manually does allow MS Word to
read it with that property).
