Research direction

Start at the OLE identifier check shown in the report and compare it with how the example file is read. Reproduce with /var/www/data.xls on CentOS, if available, and inspect why this specific file fails while the example works. Done means the reported .xls file is accepted without breaking the existing example-file path.
