Sorry for digging this one out again but it looks like i'm affected by exactly this strange bug. At my workplace we are mounting public samba shares and home directories via pam_mount (= mount.cifs) on the clients which are still Ubuntu Hardy workstations (with all updates). Version of OpenOffice is 2.4.1 from the repos. Recently i replaced one really old Debian Sarge (samba 3.0.21c) fileserver with Ubuntu Karmic Server (Samba 3.4.0) and with this one we are experiencing the same behavior as described above. Saving new files in opendocument format (odt, ods etc.) ends up with corrupted big files. There's no problem with .doc or .xls. Also i can save opendocument files to those shares from Abiword without any problem. When accessing the shares via fuse (smb in nautilus) everthing works fine.
"locking = yes" does not solve this for me nor does any combination of locking options in smb.conf. With the latest OpenOffice .deb packages (3.2) directly from openoffice.org everything works fine again but i really would like to stick with the official hardy packages.
