If you are interested, we have other problems related to the dynamic document construction performed by our letterhead system. We have one strange problem for instance where a document is constructed by our letterhead system and when you save it right away as DOC, the resulting document crashes Word. But if you save as ODT first, then terminate OOo, start it again and load the ODT and then save it as DOC, the resulting document is okay. Note that just closing the document and reopening it is not sufficient. OOo needs to be terminated and restarted completely to recover. This again lets me suspect that some internal data structure gets corrupted during the dynamic construction of the document. This is a grave issue for us, because we need Word exchangeability and the workaround of "save as ODT, terminate OOo completely, restart OOo, reopen document, export as Word" is very hard to communicate to end users. Unfortunately I am at a complete loss how to debug the above, because it doesn't cause any visible symptoms in OOo. So I can't provide any stack traces or other details except steps to reproduce using our letterhead system. Is there a point in opening an issue for this or posting it here on the mailing list? Or will this just be closed/ignored with the remark "Please provide a minimal testcase that does not require external modules" ?
Please provide a minimal test case that does not require external modules ;-) I guess exploring the issue would already cost us quite some time because of the difficulties mentioned by you. That's too much if you consider that there are other bugs around, which are somewhat easier to evaluate/fix.' You could compile you code with debug=tr to activate the assertions. Maybe one of them can give us a hint of what's going on here. An other option would be to use a tool like valgrind or boundschecker to obtain some information about potential corrupted memory.
