3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal:
cd ~/Desktop && wget
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/401003/+attachment/630609/+files/MS%20Office%20XP%20document.doc
&& lowriter -nologo MS\ Office\ XP\ document.doc
and it opens quickly and successfully.
4) What happens instead is Writer hangs indefinitely.
WORKAROUND: Use Abiword.
apt-cache policy abiword

Original Report Comments: OOo Writer grey screens and CPU usage jumps
up. The running Writer then has to be killed. This happens under Ubuntu
9.04 64-bit with OO 3.0.1 (build 9379).
