I'd rather we fix *that* separate bug cleanly; after all, other
exceptions may by thrown during a save. That commit is only in master
(not libreoffice-3-4) anyway, so we have breathing space.

Writer seems to handle it correctly... Also, the exception *is* caught
(file sfx2/source/doc/objserv.cxx function
SfxObjectShell::ExecFile_Impl line 680 in master), as the nice pop-up
error message shows. Probably calc "just" mishandles an error return
value of that function.

That code throws away the message of the exception, though :-(

It will probably be about two weeks before I can look into it.

I'm not familiar with that code, if you say so, then make that
change.
