I tried running OpenOffice through various methods: a GNOME shortcut, with or without the 
'private:factory/swriter', etc. and as well, the command-line.  I get no error messages, no 
segfaults, nothing.  About 2 seconds after the new writer document or calc spreadsheet 
appears, OpenOffice simply quits.  I experienced this on both RedHat 7.2 and 7.3 (the latter a 
fresh installation).  Did a ./setup -net straight from the tarball, deleted my old OpenOffice config 
files (like .sversionrc and .user60.rdb, as well as .openoffice -- custom local install path), then 
did a network install (via /usr/openoffice/program/soffice) to create the user-specific config files.

What frustrates me is sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  I've tried various techniques to 
try and get this bugger reproducable (moving the mouse, leaving everything alone, switching to 
another window during load) and simply can't isolate the problem.

Also had this problem with the very last build before the 1.0.0 release.  It may be a dupe, but 
the search page looks more like a tax form than a query, so I wasn't able to find anything 
related to this already submitted.

Pentium II-350-ECC, Red Hat 7.3 (fresh install), 2 gig Maxtor IDE (Primary Master), 2.5 gig 
Quantum Fireball (Secondary Master), el cheap-o CD burner with SCSI emulation (Secondary 
Slave), 256MB RAM, 256MB swap (plenty of RAM free at the time), old Diamond Viper V550 
2xAGP 8MB TNT (tried it with and without nVidia's proprietary drivers), IMPS/2 mouse 
(Intellimouse explorer)...  Running GNOME 1.4 (default RH73 install).  Will watch the thread for 
more info req's.
