Something is definitely wrong with your system. To troubleshoot the problem, I'd first reinitialize the swap space, then I'd install a new version of the kernel (while keeping the old).
Is your Etch completely up-to-date? I hope you don't have any old C libraries or old versions of ld.so on the system, because they could cause problems.
I'd also check the failing binaries' md5sums to ensure that they had not been corrupted; post the md5sum for /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice, and I'm sure Etch users will give you feedback.
