Description Unknown 2002-10-07 18:53:59 UTC 
After spending some amount of time working within the OO wordprocessor, OO will
completely crash when running Spell Check.  If I open a console and kill any
lingering OO processes, then restart OO, reload the document, and run spell
check, it works fine.  Note that after working within the word processor for any
length of time, running Spell Check *will* crash Open Office; if it does not
crash it immediately it will freeze up OO while performing the spell check. 
Mandrake Linux 8.2, stock install.

Hi, 
 
This is a known problem in OOo 1.0.o that was already fixed in OOo 
1.0.1.  Please upgrade.

Hi, 
 
Please test only with OOo 1.0.1 since the bug was fixed in that 
release. 
 
Also, have you installed any additional dictioanries for any 
language.  If so, bad .aff files and or bad .dic files can cause OOo 
to segfault.  I try to test all of the dictionaries users contribute 
but some slip through the cracks. 
 
If so,  please revert to just the intially installed en_US for 
further testing. 
 
Two more things to check: 
 
1.  spell checking is memory intensive, have you run a good memory 
diagnostic tool to make sure none of your ram chips has developed a 
problem (everyone always says they are fine (even me!) but once I 
really ran a good memory test and found I had a bad ram chip which I 
removed and now all if rock stable) 
 
2. Did you try to install OOo 1.0.1 over the top of OOo 1.0 without 
completely removing OOo first?  if so, that will cause problems 
since the file format for some of the writing aids changed if any 
files from OOo 1.0.0 are found by 1.0.1 theymay cause problems. 
 
Also, you must actually sue Issuezilla for you replies to be seen by 
me and recorded. 
 
Thanks, 
 
Kevin

As mentioned on the qa dev list on March 5th I will close all resolved
