Bug#433417: openoffice hangs, takes all CPU when port 631 (CUPS) is in use

And why is this a OOo bug? Of course OOo should not hang here, but
IMHO it's a bug in your system. 631 is IPP.
Point.
OOo has no businness talking anything else than IPP for 631, if
something else ran there (any you say nfs.mountd has that bug) *that*'s
buggy, not OOo.

If there also a bug for nfs.mountd filed?

That would mean I'd break my cups...
