Details:

Hi, 

when I try to open an .ods table and specifically read a sheet whose name
includes a comma, I get the following error: 

error: [java] com.sun.star.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException:
error: called from
    __UNO_spsh2oct__ at line 90 column 13
    xls2oct at line 215 column 30
    xlsread at line 384 column 32


The system in question is Octave 6.4 running on Windows 10, encoding utf-8, io
package version 2.6.4. We're working around it by using ; or . as separators,
that works just fine. 

I also can't reproduce the error in Linux (Ubuntu 20.04.4), Octave 6.4,
encoding utf-8, neither io version 2.6.3 nor 2.6.4; that works in any
combination.
