Bug#240475: openoffice.org version 1.1.1-2 crashes on "save as" dialogue

[Conrad Newton <conrad.newton@broadpark.no>]

A new twist on the problem.

I was eager to test the new Knoppix, dated 2004-05-04,
because it has OOo 1.1.1 installed.

It does NOT have the same problem as the OOo 1.1.1
installed on my (earlier) Knoppix variant.

So what is the difference?  I suspect it has something
to do with the different kernel.  The problem for me
occured with 2.4.22-xfs kernel (a vanilla kernel with
xfs patch and configured by Klaus Knopper).

The new Knoppix has two kernels installed, 2.4.26
and 2.6.5.  With the 2.6.5 kernel, I _can_ save to
floppy disk (even double-clicking on the save button).
So apparently, if the fundamental problem is a timing 
problem of some kind, and the newer kernel is faster, 
the problem goes away???  Wish I could be less vague,
but this is as precise as I can be!

I spoke with a friend who told me that he had seen
similar problems with older versions of Windows/Word.
Working directly on a file located on the floppy disk
is a tricky business, he said.  Always safer to work
in the home directory, and then save to floppy.
