Microsoft has indicated this issue is caused by the use > of the strncpy function. This page <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956420> explains that it is a bug in the Microsoft implementation of strncpy in some versions of the msvcr90.dll library that is part of the Microsoft redistributable run-time libraries. It is very difficult to "fix" this situation by changing how strncpy is used, since the edge case arises in Microsoft library code and triggering the particular conditions may be specific to the Microsoft Surface configuration used and the document(s) being worked on. It is necessary, instead, to introduce an updated redistributable library and probably build a new binary release of Apache OpenOffice.org. ** I disagree that there is insufficient information in this bug report. However, this is very difficult to reproduce. A new build with the latest library versions should be made and the reporting party asked to determine whether installing the new build cures the problem. I note that the hotfix files have been available since 2008 [;<). Also, it is near-impossible for an end-user to provide any better details than these. ** -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
