Details:

Hi,

unexpectedly, I realized that csv2cell partially imports this particular csv
file (attached), which was created by cell2csv function in the first place. It
only reads up to row 56 for no apparent reason. If I delete any row after row
56, the result is the same. If I delete row 56, then it imports up to row 88.
Deleting any random column does not affect this behavior.

Apparently, csvread function reads the entire file (150x642).
The csv appears intact in libreoffice calc and in text editor.

I ve been using csv2cell/cell2csv for a long time and handled more than 10k
similar files with no issue at all. Unfortunately, I can't trace the reason
for this unpredictable behaviour.
Presumably, there is a bug in csv2cell which is triggered by this particular
file.
