Excel crashes when printing XLS from https://sheetjs.com/demo/table.html

[lwinsor]

Steps to produce the problem:

1. From https://sheetjs.com/demo/table.html click [Export to XLS!]
2. For comparison, export XLSX and XLSB too.
3. Open the file in Excel 365. In Excel, click [Enable Editing].
4. Ctrl-P to print. ** CRASH **
   OR
5. From https://sheetjs.com/demo/table.html click [Export to XLS!]
6. Open the file in Excel 2010. Excel title bar shows 'compatibility mode'.
7. Ctrl-P to print. ** CRASH **

The same process does NOT crash if I choose XLSX or XLSB.

The problem details from Excel show fault module mso20win32client.dll for Excel 365 or MSVCR90.dll for Excel 2010.

Many thanks!

One-line fix (feel free to send a PR): https://github.com/SheetJS/sheetjs/blob/master/bits/78_writebiff.js#L248

-	if(b8 && _WB.Views) write_biff_rec(ba, "Window2", write_Window2(_WB.Views[0]));
+	if(b8) write_biff_rec(ba, "Window2", write_Window2((_WB.Views||[])[0]));
