Bug#367641: openoffice segfaults at startup

[Helen Faulkner <helen@debian.org>]

Package: openoffice.org
Version: 2.0.2-3
Severity: important

Hi,

All the openoffice programs crash on startup, with the following
message:

helen:~> ooffice
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice: line 233: 17308 Segmentation fault
"$sd_prog/$sd_binary" "$@"
helen:~>

I tried running it through gdb, but only got the following, which I don't
understand (me being stupid, maybe - gdb and I don't in general get along).  I'm
not sure what else I can do to help work out what this bug is, and I realise
that it is quite possibly not reproducible, since nobody else has reported it yet.

helen:~> gdb ooffice

If there is anything else I can do to help, please let me know.

Thanks,

Helen
