Bug#415860: openoffice.org: Writer does not close its files properly

[Ambrose Li <ambrose.li@cccgt.org>]

Package: openoffice.org
Version: 2.0.4.dfsg.2-6
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss


Scenario 1:
1. Open/create a document
2. Save as Word
3. Close the document
4. Try to copy the document from a Mac (through Samba)
5. The Mac copies some part of the file, then errors out with "Resource deadlock avoided", resulting in an incomplete copy
   If instead of this we try to open the file from a GUI application, the GUI application may crash

Scenario 2:
1-2. Same as scenario 1
3. Quit OpenOffice completely
4. Same as scenario 1
No problem occurs in scenario 2

This shows that, somehow, closing the document is not enough to release all the file locks on the document, and some parts of the file are still locked. Trying to copy on such "semi-closed" files results in a copy that is corrupted.
