crash output

Description of problem:
When using OpenOffice.org to mail merge, OO crashes. I have attempted previously-working files and newly created merged files. This has been confirmed on three separate computers on various levels of updated systems (from "one month old" to newly updated all packages).

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
 1. Creating a spreadsheet with three rows and two columns
 2. Creating an empty Writer document and using Edit->Exchange databases -> Browse -> find file, choose correct sheet (Sheet1)
 3. Inserting two fields into the Writer document via Insert->Field->Other->Database->Correct document->Correct sheet->field
 4. Choosing "Print" and answering "Yes" on question if wether I want to merge.
 5. Crash occures.
  
Actual results:
Crash

Expected results:
Merged document

I reproduced it once with sligthly different stack--I chose output to file in the Mail Merge dialog. It has worked on later tries...

The exact initial crash is the same as bug #483223. To workaround try and install openoffice.org-base, e.g.

yum -y install openoffice.org-base
