I just created a - admittedly trivial (new file, circle from the shapes, save) -
presentation. odp of course. What did you try with?

- opens fine in 4.0.0-1 on stock unstable
- opens fine in 4.0.0-1 + gcc-4.8 from experimental installed (which pulls in
  below experimental libc6 and libgcc1
- opens fine in 4.0.0-1 + gcc-4.8 from experimental installed (see above) +
  libstdc++6 manually from experimental.

So we can at least rule *that+ out.

Can you also reproduce this with upstreams build? I can also upload 4.0.1 rc1 test
debs so you can try whether it's fixed upstream, too..
