I am migrating a user to OOo and have had 100% repeatable crashes of their
system (often hanging X entirely) when OOo tries to display a slide (or even the
preview image in the slide navigator at left) from an imported Powerpoint
presentation that includes hyperlinked objects (in this case, images).

In creating the document in PowerPoint, the user had gone to a web page and had
somehow pasted links to the images instead of pasting copies of the images.

Even after exporting the document into OOo Open Document Presentation (ODP)
format, the system would still freeze when attempting to display the page that
had the hyperlinked images.

I deleted just the linked images from the Powerpoint presentation (which also
contains many other locally-sourced images) using Powerpoint on Windows, and
then imported them again and the problem disappeared.  I guess it is possible
that this bug also affects other OOo components too, and it would be worthwhile
testing to see.
