I've just had a most terrifying experience. Trying to open an Ms Excel document
with Staroffice 5.0 under KDE (SuSE 6.0), my computer, rock stable before, got
frozen. Ms Windows frozen like I mean... The only think he could recognize was
the reset button. I thought it was an accident. So after the cold reboot, I
tried again with the same document. The same thing happened: a message from
Staroffice, telling me that an error has occured and that my documents have
been saved. After that, only silence.
I rebooted again and this time, using YaST, I have changed susewm and startx
led me into fvwm2 (I thought may be KDE could have a bug). On this third time,
my computer died before even being able to deliver me an error message.
So, the error is reproductible. And it shouldn't froze no matter what. If I
would want to open a fish can with Staroffice and it shouldn't freeze my
system!!! Staroffice is hence really dangerous considering the type of access
he has to my computer's resources! How is it all this possible??
