Comment 2 Caolan McNamara 2007-10-05 13:28:04 UTC
Every time ? I don't get this problem with I just stick a formula into a writer
document 

Comment 3 Sean Stangl 2007-10-05 14:43:36 UTC
Yes, this is reproducible every time on my computer.

To reproduce:
1) Start a new incidence of OO.org-writer with a fresh page
2) Insert->Object->Formula
3) Type anything or nothing into the formula entry area
4) Click on a blank area of the page.

The formula area becomes grayed-out, and about a second later OO.org crashes
with the error log I attached above.

Comment 4 Sean Stangl 2007-10-05 14:49:03 UTC
Further testing reveals that the problem extends beyond just the formula applet:

If I start a new copy of oo.org-writer and choose File->Exit, the program also
crashes with a similar log.

Testing reveals that this is not dependent on anything in my
~/.openoffice.org2.0; the crashes happen with a fresh environment.

Comment 5 Caolan McNamara 2007-10-05 15:12:55 UTC
Most odd, I wonder why I'm not seeing anything like this on my F-7 box.

Comment 6 Sean Stangl 2007-10-08 13:37:30 UTC
The bugs were fixed by re-installing the openoffice* packages, and the bug
cannot be reproduced. Resolving and marking NOTABUG to close.

Comment 7 Caolan McNamara 2007-10-08 13:47:34 UTC
let me know if it happens again, there's always an outside chance that it is
triggered by prelink optimizations, in which case it would happen if prelink
gets run again, e.g. daily by cron
