Some fields turned '@' while there should be something in it.

```
What steps will reproduce the problem?

Use these code to read the file:
val(2, 2);

?>

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It should give me '1.1'.
But it gives me '@'.
There are also some more cell like this:

$data->val(1,16); # should give me '2000' but it give me '@'
$data->val(1,17); # should give me '2001' but it give me '@'
$data->val(1,19); # should give me '2003' but it give me '@'

Please provide any additional information below.

```

Start with excel_reader2.php and reproduce the reported outputs using the attached XLS file. Check why eval(2, 2) and the listed cells return '@' instead of their expected values, then verify that those cells are read correctly without changing already-correct cell values.
