openoffice.org 1.0.1-5 is a no go

["Jason E. Stewart" <jason@openinformatics.com>]

Hey All,

I just upgraded OpenOffice and it won't run. I get the splash screen,
then some debugging output: 

  SIOCGIFADDR got '00:00:00:00:00:00'

and then the splash screen just hangs around doing nothing. 

I did an strace, and it sits waiting on a read:

read(21, "[__Global_Printer_Defaults__]\n; "..., 3486) = 3486
access("/home/jasons/OpenOffice.org1.0.1/user/psprint/psprint.conf", F_OK) = 0
lstat("/home/jasons/OpenOffice.org1.0.1/user/psprint/psprint.conf", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=3486, ...}) = 0

any help appreciated.
