Bug#302635: openoffice.org-gtk-gnome: Crashes on powerpc when using GTK/Gnome dialog to open/save files

["Kevin B. McCarty" <kmccarty@Princeton.EDU>]

Package: openoffice.org-gtk-gnome
Version: 1.1.3-8
Severity: important

Hello,

I can't seem to get any open/save file dialogs (including export to PDF) to
work with the GTK/Gnome file plugin.  I'm running OOo on powerpc, up-to-date
sid.  

To reproduce:
0) sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-gtk-gnome
1) rm -rf .openoffice .sversionrc # to make sure nothing weird is going on
2) openoffice foo.doc
3) Tools->Options->OpenOffice.org->General: uncheck "Use OpenOffice.org
   dialogs", click OK
4) Try to select one of File->Open, File->Save As, File->Export as PDF, etc.

At this point two things happen:
a) A pop-up dialog says "An unrecoverable error has occurred.  All modified
   files have been saved and can probably be recovered at program restart."
b) In the console from which OOo was launched, the following is printed:

libgnomevfs-ERROR **: file gnome-vfs-cancellation.c: line 133 (gnome_vfs_cancellation_cancel): assertion failed: (gnome_vfs_is_primary_thread())
aborting...
sh: crash_report: command not found


Now the OOo GUI continues to exist but is no longer responsive and must be
forcibly killed.

If one then starts up OOo again and re-checks the toggle from Step 3, the
file dialogs (OpenOffice.org versions, of course) work perfectly fine.
Please note that despite the text of the error message, the presence or
absence of the openoffice.org-gnomevfs package makes no difference.  Also,
I do not have prelink installed.

I tried running soffice.bin under gdb to get a backtrace, but it wasn't very
useful:

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

Let me know if you need more info -- I'm on powerpc if you want me to try a
version with debugging symbols compiled in.  I haven't tried to reproduce
this on x86, but I assume it doesn't happen or someone else would have
reported this by now.
