--- Comment #4 from Jim Avera <[email protected]> ---
Michael, did you specifically look at the code and see that the allocator
*expects* storage beyond what is allocated to be used?  This seems like an
extremely dangerous situation.  Please don't close (or else please re-open)
this bug unless you have actual knowledge that this isn't really a bug.'

I'm saying this because this is not idle lint-checking; there _is_ some bad
memory corruption going on somewhere in LibO which makes it unusuable for some
people (like me).  My spreadsheets crash every few minutes, whereas they run
find with never a crash in OpenOffice 4.1.   What I don't know is whether
extremely old versions of LibO also run reliably.


P.S. If valgrind is intercepting malloc() calls then it would be absolutely
wrong for any code to allocate beyond the end of a malloc'd storage.  But I
don't know exactly what valgrind is doing.
