XLSX works with node-debug but not node

Not sure what I’m doing wrong! I have this simple test.js in the root folder:

var XLSX = require('xlsx');
console.log(XLSX)
var xlsx = XLSX.readFile("test.xlsx");
console.log(xlsx)

If I run node-debug test.js it runs to completion as expected. But if I run node test.js execution terminates inside of XLSX.readFile(). in fact, if I insert a probe, that probe is never reached:

function readFileSync(data, opts) {
    console.log(data, opts)
    var o = opts||{}; o.type = 'file';
    return readSync(data, o);
}

If I trace execution with node-debug, all works as expected.

Windows 7 Node v0.10.31 Excel 2010

I can’t attach test.xlsx but here is the corresponding CSV, just one column, one row:

There are known problems with Node 0.10.31. Try 0.10.30

@smohandas the XLSX issue is rooted in an issue from the zip dependency. See https://github.com/Stuk/jszip/issues/166 for more info
