Description

Due to this POI IOUtils bug (https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51461) Office Parser might be stuck in infinite loop while parsing some specific (XLS) files.

I will attach a file which fails but for full bug details (and test case / patch) refer to the POI bug: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51461
