With 10.4 Server apple introduced a feature that you can save the users profile and home directory on the server and sync it everytime you connect/disconnect from the server after you worked offline. In addition when you use non-server versions of 10.3 and higher in a network they no longer use plain afp as default, at least this is what our technician told me, they will use afp over TCP by default which seems to make a difference here as it will when you have a server that manages the network. At least I remember this beeing a factor the last time we had a similiar problem with saving on network volumes. I could very well save on my colleaques Mac but when I tried to save on the shared volume that the server provided OOo failed to. Since we hadn't had the 10.4 server at this time I cannot say if we have to issues here. One that OOo crashes when you have your home folder on the server and one when you try to save to a network volume. It also seams to make a difference if between to save as operations the network volume wasn't available or not. Via private mail on of the commentators on the above mentioned issue 9433 told me that sometimes people at their school tend to open a document via network write some text but afterwards do not save it but leave it open for a few days, add some more text and try to save it than.
