I replicated the bug with OpenOffice.org 2.3 on a PC with Window XP Media Center
Edition 2002 Service Pack 2 with processor speed of 1.58Ghz and 1Gb of RAM where
multiple windows saying "Protected cells can not be modified" opened, but my
system did not crash.

Procedure to Reproduce:
1. Open a new "OpenOffice.org Calc" spreadsheet file
2. Protect the sheet <Tools->Protect Document->Sheet...>
3. Click "OK" without typing anything
4. Select all the cells by clicking the unlabeled box left of column A and top
of row 1
5. Use SpellCheck <Tools->SpellCheck...>

What I saw was that a window with the message "Protected cells can not be
modified" pops up, when you click "OK", the window pops up again, when you click
"OK", the window dissappears, but clicking anywhere on the SpellCheck will bring
up the window again. 

Follow-up tests show that the bug will appear independent of how many cells are
selected as long as more than 1 is selected, which leads to the workaround
below.  I also tested the bug with other options that did (Find and replace) and
did not have an additional window (bold, row height, etc) and the bug did not
appear.

A possible workaround is:
1. Click "OK" on the window that says "Protected cells cannot be modified."
until they're gone
Right now you should see all the cells selected in the back with the SpellCheck
window in the foreground.
2. Click on a single arbitrary cell (e.g. A1)
3. Click "Close" in the SpellCheck window.

This bug isn't really serious with the simple and quick workaround above, but if
it does indeed crash your OpenOffice then perhaps it needs to be looked at.
