Description Unknown 2002-06-27 07:22:07 UTC 
i am running openoffice on a PII 350 running the 2.4.18 kernel with xfree86
4.2.0 and blackbox 0.65 alpha 8.

OO crashes blackbox and x 3 out of 4 times on startup.  with either the soffice
or setup command the system freezes for about 5 seconds then x shuts down. 
repeated attempts eventually get it running, but it is still HORRENDOUSLY slow.

just another random note OO looks for test in /usr/bin instead of the default
/bin.  although a simple symlink fixes this, it just adds to the frustration of
frequent crashes and slooooooooooooow performance.

HR->TM:
Regarding window magangers: please ask PL
Regarding '/usr/bin/test': I've no idea who and for what reason
hardcoded the 'test' shell utility in the soffice script (it has been
in there before the source went Openoffice). I can only guess - maybe
to prevent problems with the build in test utilities of historical
shells. Anyway, it's not the right thing to do so, especially if you
later just use the [ ... ] equivalent in the same shell script. Same
thing with the setup startup skript. Please create sepearate issue and
reassign to the owner of the shell scripts.

Hi,

Whats the status of the shell script issue WRT /bin/test?  MacOSX 
port is running into this, and while its not too important, 
our 'test' isn't located correctly.

Has an issue been filed to deal with the shell scripts yet?

Does it happen with other WM's too ? "Horrendously slow" is a bit
subkective, can it be that it begins to swap first and then you are
running out of swap space ? This would more or less randomly kill
processes.
