After my last "emerge -auvND world", openoffice stopped working
for non-root users. When I run
strace /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice -writer
I observe that the program hangs doing a waitpid() call on a
child that was forked to run /usr/lib/openoffice/program/oosplash.bin,
and oosplash.bin is hung waiting on this call:
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE,
path="/tmp/OSL_PIPE_1000_SingleOfficeIPC_353b22f3f3e79662742f7b9c3463e52"}, 110
If I run oospalsh.bin from the command line, the same thing
happens, it hangs trying to connect to a Unix domain socket.
I've checked, and the socket does exist:
$ ls -l /tmp | grep 'OSL'

Any ideas on what to do next?
