Issue Body:
Hi, developers of libxls:
In the test of the binary `test2_libxls` instrumented with ASAN. There are 6 heap-buffer-overflow and 1 SEGV vulnerabilities in 
 `src/xls.c:1015`, `src/xls.c:1018`, `src/xlstool.c:266`, `src/xlstool.c:411`, `src/xlstool.c:395`, and `src/xlstool.c:296`. Here is the ASAN mode output (I omit some unnecessary messages):
