Hi,

This bug is still alive under current Squeeze, making OOo unusable from
external applications (Gnus, in my case).  My arch is i386.

$ /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException'

On the other hand, it returns successfully if OOo is already running, for
example if it was started previously by
$ /usr/lib/openoffice/program/oosplash.bin

As I understand it, removing -no-oosplash from the mailcap entries opens
up a race, so it isn't a proper workaround.  Or has it been working for
everybody else for almost a year now?
