--- Comment #3 from [email protected] ---
The fool thing didn't save my initial comments. DRAT. As near as I can remember
these are the steps taken to generate and include the help file for cmp
(cmp.txt) and the tar'ed files.

 1: A end-of-day file wsa saved, test.odt.win7.
 2: The computer was booted.
 3: test.odt.win7 crashed on open in cygwin (odt test.odt.win7&)
 4: Restart in Safe Mode.
 5: Open test.odt.win7 in cygwin.
 6: Delete and insert one letter and save (test.odt.safe). The letter 'e' in
purpose on the first line of text.
 7: Open test.odt in cygwin.
 8: Change and insert one letter and save (test.odt). The following diagnostic
messages were issued on save in exact order shown.
    error: unknown encoding UTF8: using iso88591 as fallback
    error: unknown encoding UTF8: using iso88591 as fallback
    error: unknown encoding UTF8: using iso88591 as fallback
    error: unknown encoding UTF8: using iso88591 as fallback
 9: Execute cmp -l test.odt test.odt.safe > odt_v_save in cygwin.
10: Execute cmp -l test.odt test.odt.win7 > odt_vs_win7 in cygwin.
11: Execute cmp -l test.odt.win7 test.odt.safe > win7_vs_safe in cygwin.
12: tar cfJ files.tar.xz test.odt.win7 test.odt.safe test.odt odt_vs_safe
odt_vs_win7 win7_vs_safe
13: List the _vs_ file sizes:
  byte size   filename
    925946   odt_vs_safe
    803586   odt_vs_win7
    926478   win7_vs_safe
14: List the sizes of the test.odt* files
   byte size  filename
     67653    test.odt
     67164    test.odt.safe
     67773    test.odt.win7


Some questions come up:
1: Why are there so many differences in the cmp files when only one character
was deleted and then replaced?
2: Why are there any differences in the test.odt* files when only one character
was deleted and then replaced?
3: Why can AOO not open a file in Win7 normal mode but can open the same file
in Win7 Safe Mode?
4: Why are diagnostic messages issued on an AOO exit in Win7 normal mode, but
not in Win7 save mode and not during a normal AOO save?

Hopefully there is enough material to determine (at least) what AOO does on a
save that makes the AOO file unreadable on an open. My guess is that since the
crash occurs on an open and not on a save then there is something in the saved
file that AOO chokes on when AOO is executed in Win7 normal mode. Since this
error does not always occur on Win7 OS's it is hard to replicate on other
machines. However, this behavior seems to be a daily occurrence on my computer
this week.

Hope the stuff help. Hope you can fix things.
