I've the following text in a unsaved document:
A A A A aaaa
今日本語 お 書きます

お おお お お おお お 日本語本語語本語

Since it seems that it's not possible to write Japanese in English version on
Win98 I copied text from Mozilla Mail Tool. (I wanted to find out if I can
really not enter Japanese ...)
Then I selected the Kanji 日本 and tried what I can do:
Format -> Case/Character -> Hiragana (or may be Katakana)
but it copied the お character. Then I got a first crash, whit an OpenOffice.org
message and I had to exit the task. I restartet Writer and I could restore the
unsaved document. I tried it again and this time the Writer produced a system error:
SOFFICE caused an invalid page fault in
module SAL3.DLL at 0167:00401c21.

I can reproduce this Error many times now.
