My document causes writer to hang on xp and linux

I've seen similiar issues but no resolutions. My document was working fine. It is large with many tables. I udpated the table of contents and it hung. When I tried to restore it seemed to think it was done correctly. However, the document loads and 3 seconds later it hangs. Dead to the world. this was on XP I tried it again on RedHat. It not only hung when I opened the document, it shut down my entire vmware image. I'm attempting to attach the document:
Created attachment 35913 [details] Document that causes writer to hang
I checked with "2.0.2 German version WIN XP: [680m5(Build9011)]" and can confirm the problem. I opened the document, and in the first moment everything seemed to work fine, but after I changed to WIN EXPLORER and back to the document, OOo hanged - after 20 minutes I terminated OOo (still hanging) with WIN Task Manager. Unfortonately, no crash report has been created.
I created an error report using 680m113, what showed the same hang with 100% processor load as 2.0.2. I added a comment "This is a crash report for issue 64626" The ID of the error report is rb54pf
MRU->FME: quite odd, when I select Tools.Update.Page formatting right after the the document shows up, no Loop occurs. But when I open the document and then leave it in idle formatting, it will loop a few seconds later.
I was able to interrupt the loop by quickly telling it to export to pdf. Once I saw it wasn't hanging I saved the doc to word format and moved over to microsoft. I can't risk loosing this document again.
.
I have successfully replicated the bug with the file provided with my windows environment Windows XP(SP2) with Open Office Version 2.0.3 and Linux red 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL.CSE.smp. The reason of bug is when the file is in idle state it goes in a loop Note : In Linux the system hangs in 10 to 15 sec and in windows 2 to 3 sec
Loop does not occur anymore due to the implementation of some general loop controls in the Writer layout engine, see issue 81146.
fme->mru: Ready for QA.
Verified in CWS loopcontrol.
Checked fix in OO 2.4 dev build 680m237.
