You could try running 'free -m' in a terminal while you have the
document opened and see how much free memory it thinks you have. The
below is an example of my machine, the third line shows the amount of
used and free for regular usage, so on my laptop at the moment I have
1016MB used and 2840MB free. I noticed after I had saved the document on
my laptop OOo was using around 1.25GB of memory, I'm not sure if it used
more during the save process, but if you are low on memory that might be
why it was crashing. Also the fourth line shows how much swap space you
have and how much is used, my machine has 4094MB of swap with only 42MB
used, if yours shows a large amount used compared to what you have
available that might mean you are running the system out of memory also.
What happens when you run out of memory is some process is killed, in
most cases the process that caused the system to run out of memory, but
not always.
