I have identified the problem causing my computer to freeze when using Calc.
The problem is with the Save AutoRecovery information feature. If this is
enabled the program tries to save information in the default backup folder but
fails to correctly do so. Instead it saves a numbered zero byte file and
continues to save a similar file with a new number every few seconds. The
freezing was caused because the default backup folder had become full with over
23,000 of these zero byte files and would not take any more causing the program
to freeze.

I have deleted all 23,000 files in the backup folder and disabled the Save
AutoRecovery information setting which stops the attempts to write files to the
backup folder. The program now functions normally and does not freeze.

There is no loss in not having the Save AutoRecovery feature enabled as it was
not saving any usable information anyway. I have enabled the "Always create a
backup copy" setting and this functions correctly as it should.
