Description

We're converting a cache of legacy Excel spreadsheets to CSV in order to merge and ingest them in a newer repository.  We're experiencing an issue where the processor produces a 0-byte file for some worksheets, but not others.  The processor itself doesn't log any errors or post any bulletins about potential data issues.

Depending on the worksheet, this is happening with 1/3 to 1/2 of the files processed, so we're losing quite a bit of that data.
