I copied and pasted the html page attached to that bug and OpenOffice
did not crash on this system, which is running Ubuntu 9.10 NBR with
all security and recommended updates applied. (Firefox
3.5.8+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1 and openoffice.org-writer
version 1:3.1.1-5ubuntu1.1.) So the bug may or may not affect a
particular system.
