It doesn't really matter - I just wanted to know if you had built them
yourself or not.  The packages you have are almost exactly the same as the
ones in unstable.  They only entered unstable in the last 24 hours and
haven't reached the mirrors properly.

Anyway, I started suspecting the shared library loader and found a
workaround on my system.  Please will you try setting LD_BIND_NOW and see if
it works for you too?

i.e.

$ LD_BIND_NOW=1 openoffice

Thanks,
