Opening this .sdw file hangs OpenOffice

The attached StarOffice file causes OpenOffice to hang while opening it. On my machine the document appears but then the UI freezes and the program consumes the CPU for a long time.
Created attachment 3271 [details] StarOffice file that crashes OpenOffice
Robin, thanks for using and supporting OOo. Which version of SO was the file created in. Unable to duplicate on Win NT 4.0 SP6a, OOo 643. File loads fine for me.
I don't know what version it was created with. Is there any way I can find out where it's hanging in the code?
Unable to duplicate on RH 8.0, OOo 643. Duplicated on RH 8.0, RH OOo 1.0.1. Robin, if possible, test this file with developer build 643. Robin, you can always break out the ddd debugger and trace the code until OOo crashes. If you don't want to get that detailed, try trimming down the file until it's about a page or less so that you figure out what exactly is causing OOo to hang while loading the doc. Also, when OOo hangs, you may want to try waiting for a while ( 5 - 10 minutes ). I have worked on cases where the load time for files is long enough to convince end users that OOo has hung.
Can't reproduce on OOo 1.1 beta1.
