Thanks, that looks like it is crashing while retrieving database
metadata.  This is a set of fixes that have been made to the
connectivity code for OOo 1.1.1:

http://ooo.ximian.com/bonsai/cvsquery.cgi?treeid=default&module=all&branch=cws.*dba01pp1.*&branchtype=regexp&dir=&file=&filetype=match&who=&whotype=match&sortby=Date&hours=2&date=all&mindate=&maxdate=&cvsroot=%2Fvar%2Fcvsup

There are some commits with the comment 'check if metadata are null',
and I wonder if that is the cause of the problem.

I'll forward the report upstream and ask the developer agrees.
