Description lindahl 2004-10-12 23:56:03 UTC 
The ppt file at URL http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/talk.nomeanfeat.ppt (3
megabytes) , when opened, causes OO 1.1.1 to consume huge amounts of memory
(1.25 gigabytes is all I have configured) and then crash.

Comment 2 thackert 2004-10-17 09:01:02 UTC 
Your file works fine for me (o.k. ... it needs some seconds to load).
System: Athlon XP 2200+, SuSE 9.1 and OOo-1.1.3
Comment 3 wolframgarten 2004-11-03 11:54:58 UTC 
Sorry, no problems to load the file in version OOo1.1.1. Can you add some
details about your system? Thanks.
Comment 4 wolframgarten 2004-11-03 11:55:32 UTC 
If possible please try this with OOo1.1.3. Thanks again.

I am running a FC2 system, with all updates, 256 MB of actual ram, i386 (a P4).

I updated to OO 1.1.2, which is the latest RPMs for Fedora Core 2.

Let's see, I am seeing 7 minutes of runtime so far, virtual memory use up to
250 megabytes.

Too bad thackert and wg didn't say how long "some seconds" was.

According to strace the process is opening and writing little xml files in /tmp,
never reading them. Then it does a bunch of mmap/mmunmap of size 64k, which is
presumably malloc/free. Then it writes another little xml file.

I have not used a stop watch but I think it was 15-20 seconds at all (when I start OOo without any 
document, it needs just half of the time ...).
Comment 7 thackert 2004-12-26 11:32:10 UTC 
But have you also tried an original OOo version and a newer one like 1.1.3, 1.1.4rc, 1.1.4 or some 1.9.xx? I 
seem to remember that all the distributors are building their own and patched version of OOo ... :( Try to 
download an original suite from the OOo-HP and install one of the above mentioned version, please. And it 
would be nice if you can give us some feedback afterward (or hopefully close this issue ... ;) ).
Comment 8 thackert 2005-02-06 06:20:55 UTC 
I have not seen an answer to my question so I close this issue as invalid. You
could reopen it every time if this problem also occur in an original OOo version
which is more up to date that the 1.1.2 you have installed under FC ... ;)
Comment 9 lindahl 2005-02-06 07:07:43 UTC 
No thanks, I've been convinced it'd be a waste of my time -- if you can't go out
of your way to try to reproduce something with a major distro's package of your
software, then I'll spend my time sending bug reports to someone who cares.
Comment 10 christian.guenther 2005-04-01 11:53:35 UTC 
I can reproduce the bug in the version you mentioned.
The bug is fixed in OOo1.1.2 and later versions.
I reopen the issue to set it to fixed.
Comment 11 christian.guenther 2005-04-01 11:54:17 UTC 
Fixed in OOo1.1.2
Comment 12 christian.guenther 2005-04-01 11:55:00 UTC 
I close the issue as fixed.
