Two comments: 

i) Many thanks to the people who have pointed out the "Tools > Options > Memory 
> set 'Number of objects' > 'Number of OLE objects' " workaround. 

To clarify, I would like to add that the 'Number of OLE objects' can be found 
from the "File > Properties > Statistics" tab.

ii) I know this is not the place to start a discussion about extension 
development but it is a handy place to address interested parties and then 
maybe 
continue in an appropriate forum (where?).

I'm a FOSS and particularly OOo advocate and as I have already made clear very 
enthusiastic about CompPad. Until I participated in this bug commentary, I was 
unaware of ooo-imath. This too looks like a great extension and seems to have 
some nice features together with the activities of Dmath.org. 

However, as an engineering user (and definitely not a programmer) I would very 
much encourage the various authors and developers to consider pooling their 
efforts and resources to make a few excellent, fully featured and supported 
extensions rather than several, each of which covers some functions or user 
requirements. 

I am in no way trying to suppress individuality, diversity or creativity but 
time and time again, some of the major roadblocks I am confronted with when 
suggesting FOSS alternatives to employers or customers is "Yes but it doesn't 
have enough of the features I need", "A to-do list is very interesting but 
there's no roadmap to put dates on." or "How do I know it will be developed and 
supported?". 

The word synergy is overused but in it's original context 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synergy) it perfectly describes the energy that 
drives FOSS.

Having stirred up the flames, I'll retire to a safe distance.

:)
