Current CVS (with kde33) makes kspread crash as soon as I opened a csv
document. (possibly any document :)

I suggest to add unit tests for the new design parst as soon as possible
in the design process. The eliminates recurring and often unneded bugs
which leave kspread unusable for people just grabbing the current CVS.

To say the same thing in another context; please be very much aware that
kspread should be generally usable in HEAD most of the time.
