[mdlug] Open Office failures

[David Lane]

Well that was the thing: I have used OO for quite some time on both Windows and linux and I have not had a problem.

When I did it was because of something else. I have a windows node that has both OO and office 2007 and I contenually use OO.

There is little point in blindly blaming any component.  You'd need to
use strace, lsof, fuser, and friends to try and narrow down the hung
component.

On the other hand recent versions of Open Office are very stable - so
the possibly exists that the problem isn't even Open Office but some
other component of your stack and the issue is merely manifesting in
Open Office.  OOo is a large and powerful application that pushes
underlying libraries and components pretty hard.

If you can repeat the hang run it under gdb and capture the stack.
