I think we already had a beginning of apport by edgy.
When crashing, does it suggest to report a bug?
If so, you should. If you do 'ls -l /var/crash' do you see openoffice
.crash files?

I get the same errors on feisty, but openoffice seems to work well,
without
any crashing.

According to dpkg -l openoffice*
I have: ii  openoffice.org 2.2.0~rc3~oof6 OpenOffice.org office suite -
spreadsheet

Obviously crashing is not the normal behaviour, so this is a bug, that
you should
report. On the other hand, it must have to do with the specific
configuration you
use, processor, packages installed, because the majority have not this
problem.
