Openoffice stops working

[Christoph Georgi]

Nope, haven't installed OO2. I copied an image with the working hoary on 
my hdd to be able to continue with my work.. no time for messing around 
till friday :(

I had a look at the processes with '$ top' and I remember that 
soffice.bin was marked with an 'S' (sleeping, I suppose). No process was 
  stopped or zombie. Can't remeber any backgound process (and I anyway 
would not know how top marks them..)

The difficulty with this "bug" is, that I haven't got a clue how to 
reproduce it.. And I couldn't afford having OO not working.

Are there any logfiles specificly for OO where such an error could get 
recorded?

regards
