List index out of range, but list has enough elements

[Costin Gamenț]

Thank you all for your interest in my problem. As Peter pointed out,
there was one row with zero elements in it and that's where my problem
was (of course it was the very last row, hence my confidence I have
"good" data).

Have a nice one,
Costin
