I came across an article mentioning this, and other vagaries of
spreadsheets.

Primarily, of course, about Excel, but how many of these traits are present
in Gnumeric and OfficeCalc? I've never had reason to plumb the limits of
either of them.

Also, saving using an older file format will hit the limit, regardless of
the version of the software. I wonder whether there's an error message.
