[Phpwm] Spreadsheet/Excel/Writer.php

[alan dunn]

Yup, we found the bug reports - but no fixes! The comments about size of 
file, or server overload seem a bit out of place when the test file is 
about 4k. It looks like something which could be version or installation 
specific - obviously there are others running this with no problems.  
We are running suse linux 10.1
