Bug#451849: openoffice.org-gnome: wiping out contents of files on shared drives when opening
Package: openoffice.org-gnome
Version: 1:2.3.0.dfsg-2
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
When opening files on a shared folder (in one case, a Windows share, in
another case, a share from another Debian box) the file is zeroed out
when the file is opened. Irretrievable data loss. No warning.
Something to do with gnome Vfs perhaps. The error occurs in Writer and
Calc (the only two parts of openoffice.org I tested).
I saw this happen with a number of small documents that opened just fine
if they were first copied to the local hard drive.
