Bug#335897: Similar problem, but solved
I got a similar problem on my Debian Etch box; it turned out to be an NFS lock
problem. Using strace on the soffice.bin process just before the freeze will
reveal this:
open("/nfs/niccolo/dvd_howto.html", O_RDONLY) = 28
fcntl64(28, F_SETLK, {type=F_RDLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=0}
In /var/log/kern.log:
Feb 21 22:00:32 kernel: lockd: server 192.168.2.2 not responding, timed out
This was because the NFS server was firewalling some NFS traffic. Just check
that all the rpc ports used on the server (rpcinfo -p) are reachable by the
client.
I hope this help.
