Well, if you're not using OOo 2.2, which you probably aren't, then there
is little cause to file a bug report. The Debian version of OOo is
2.04, which is 2 versions old and there are many bug-fixes, although I
don't know if this specific one has been addressed.
I do know however that the upstream devs will want you to be using the
latest stable version and report bugs on that. I doubt if they are
interested in bugs in old versions. They have moved on.
Incidently, OOo 2.2 is still sitting in experimental and should be
migrating to Sid by the end of the week, and to Lenny in a few weeks.
Etch will need a backport.
In regards to your problem. Exactly how large is said document? Large
is a very relative term.
