Serious Bug in Lucid Lynx OpenOffice Writer

[clintin at linuxmail.org]

That was easy since Launchpad knows me. I have confirmed the bug as still being present, on 32 bit platforms.

Thanks for the link to the bug report.

Launchpad is exactly where you should report it, so the powers that be 
can attempt to duplicate it and get it fixed. This is a support list, 
not a bug report list.

It appears this bug may be the same as 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/556169, in 
which case adding information is in your best interest as it is about to 
be closed again.
