During my tests with OpenOffice1.1Beta and the JDK
I see code which works for root, but doesn't work as user.

Is this the same case for Linux if you cd into the program
dir before you start OO ?

The crash is 100% reproducable: "->File->Autopilot->Report" and
OpenOffice crashes.

This does not happen as user root. If I make
/usr/local/OpenOffice.org-644/program world writable it works.
Bad bad ...

I looked more closly at the crash. Some temporary files seem
to be crated in the CWD, which is really wrong.
