I ran OOO from the command line:  openoffice.org3 -calc
Result was a core dump after entering data on the spreadsheet
for a few minutes.

  soffice:  line 120:  3882 Segmentation fault
     (core dumped) "$sd_prog/$sd_binary" "$@"

gdb soffice.bin core.3882
  #0 0x004922aa in ?? () from /opt/openoffice.org3/program/../basis-link/
        program/../ure-link/lib/libuno_cppuhelpergcc3.so.3
  #1 0x9739df14 in ?? ()
  #2 0x0000000  in ?? ()

This is seems to be from openoffice.org-ure-1.7.0-9567:
  /opt/openoffice.org/ure/lib/libuno_cppuhelpergcc3.0.so.3

I found a previous core (29213) file with a similar problem:
  #0  0x00472309 in cppu::OWeakObject::acquire() ()
          from /opt/openoffice.org3/program/../basis-link/program/../
             ure-link/lib/libuno_cppuhelpergcc3.so.3

And another (21260):
  #0  0x00275e44  in cppu::WeakComponentImplHelperBase::acquire() ()
          from ...{same}

Thanks,
